Pros

- Work Life Balance, you can't take work home - Good vacation accrual, usually no questions asked when you want to take time off

Cons

- Good ol' boy promotion of unqualified and unprofessional managers - Top heavy with management - Saving taxpayer $ is not talked about and those who do try to improve are shut down - News idea are belittled - Good employees are overworked, undervalued, and never recognized - Poor hiring process. It is very hard to get in as an engineer if you weren't hired straight from college. This leads to all employees having the shipyard mentality with no new talent to diversify the pool. This also means that when good employees leave, the mediocre ones that are sliding by are the future leaders.
