Ingalls Pascagoula. Since NG left...declining benefits are now the norm.

Business Outlook

Pros

Big organization stability and resources. There are many great people there. Experts in just about every field that you can learn from. Can specialize if you are able to move internally. Great place to learn quickly. Just out of school initial opportunities are good. Do not spend more than 3 to 5 yrs there.

Cons

Employees benefits are being cut consistently. Cut holiday this year. Cut PTO accrual rate. Eliminated Sick Time. Said can Flex time, but limited. Merit raises frozen for 6 months and very small when received before (except mgmt). Your pay check will decrease with respect to inflation. Will likely get no salary increases when you get within 10 yrs of retirement. Would only recommend working here if no other option at this time (why i clicked recommend). Limited hiring of salaried at this time.
