Pros

Worked as Construction Manager; review for folks working in construction and construction contracting. - Great job security. - Real ability to work overseas; you really CAN go to Japan, Singapore, Bahrain, etc... if there is a Navy or Marine Corps base, there is NAVFAC. - Wide variety of projects. - Decent people overall.

Cons

- Will not learn design engineering at NAVFAC; they contract out practically all design work. - Terrible employees are extremely difficult to fire. Several employees are under qualified, but once they are in, that is it. - Pace of work varies, but can be heavy. - You do eventually work for Naval Officers; not exactly a CON, but just remember, it is a military organization staffed by 95% civilians. - Way too much EEO, sexual harassment, non-sense politically correct trainings. - You'd be surprised how low budget the government is, in some places you have to vacuum the office, the office is 50+ years old, it takes two months to get computer access, IE is version 6, etc...

Pros

Job fulfillment- NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic's mission of directly supporting the U.S. Navy makes this organization a tremendously fulfilling team to be a part of.

Cons

Federal regulations regarding hiring process make it challenging to recruit promising candidates.
