Good place to work, but limited mobility.

Pros

Service to the Navy mission is rewarding. Interesting work, good benefits and ample amount of training opportunities. Work schedules are flexible which affords a good work-life balance. A professional organization.

Cons

Work can be challenging and many offices/departments are under staffed. There is little room for local mobility, must be willing to move to a region where a headquarters is located.

Pros

-Stable work environment (only happens when a base closure occurs or when absolutely necessary) -Provides good training programs (if you seek them out and ONLY if your boss allows it) -Location is good

Cons

-Very narrow environment (promotions only occur with those who are well liked) -Very behind the times (technology used is outdated, flexible work environments are not really flexible) -Poor training for management (management has NO clue how to get the best out of their people) -Constant turnover and furloughs -Pay never really improves (raises have not been granted in a very long time)

Pros

Professional environment with an important mission. Challenging work with good benefits and security. Leadership actually listens to people in the organization and cares about professional development of their workforce.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging in a military organization. The current budget environment makes it difficult to do the job and makes change necessary but hard.
