Pros

Time off. People you work with. The job isn't hard. Timely expectations. Parking isnt really that bad.

Cons

Foreman isnt ever really on the job. Lots of slurs used day to day. You end up working with a bunch of teens. You can feel the tension between shipyard workers and the Navy personnel. Lack of immediate equipment concerning material and equipment to do the job. Lots of people in indirect upper managment that have ridiculous expectations that trails down to your foreman. People steal your tools, equipment, and material. Lots of Apprentices in the Apprentice program that dont belong there.
