      Pros

      Variety of military specific projects. Important mission to serve the people who defend the USA. Work 8 hours every day, not forced to work any more than that.

      Cons

      No bonuses. No salary increases for getting your PE license. Organization has struggled for years with budget cuts. Good engineers are held back by the red tape in the system, bad engineers are here because they can’t make it in the private sector and whoever is left is waiting to float on the gov’t employees’ retirement system in X amount of years. It's an "all about me" company. Blatant mistakes are made and no one cares. Getting someone fired for poor performance is impossible. Government criteria is always changing, especially every 2 years when new military management takes over. You are required to do things that don't make any bit of sense just so someone can check a box on some form.

      Pros

      The benefits are outstanding. NAVFAC encourages computer literate employees to work at home.

      Cons

      Organizational structure is weak. Commanding Officers are changed every two years, with three months in transition on both sides. Upper civilian managers require a strict adherence to a philosophy that requires employees to follow chain of command. Employees who follow laws, rules, regulations or communicate violations are labeled "Trouble Makers", and sometimes pigeon holed and assigned make work. Productivity (or an illusion of productivity) is placed above quality, and efficiency. Employees do not answer emails, hand written letters, or phone calls, and most assignments are whimsically applied. For example: I had worked on one project for two years and when the project was completed I was told: "Didn't I tell you that we decided not to do that project last year?" Assign dedicated band width to employees who work with data base, and block Facebook access, gaming, and stock trading sites.
