Pros

It was an easy commute and you met a lot of people. Being on a military base gave you a sense of pride to help those who fight for our freedom

Cons

Management was very one sided. They talked about diversity everyday but that's just it. It was just talk. Awards and Advancement was given to the same people or management pets.

Pros

Pay is slightly above average for the area, but includes pension, 401K, increasingly more paid time off (after 3 years I was getting 6 hours per pay period. capless sick pay, all federal holidays are paid holidays, long term disability, shopping privileges at Navy Exchange and www.mynavyexchange.com. All around excellent company to work for which cares very much about your longevity and well-being

Cons

At times, it can be difficult to complete projects to your liking due to 'red tape'. Many people have input and because of that, your end result may not be what you had in mind.
