Pros

I would say benefits, so if you die AT WORK, your family might be taken care of.

Cons

People have DIED AT WORK at our Bacchus facility, and the company response is callous, cold-hearted, and the most traumatic experience I have ever had at work. Management refuses to say who died, while they have an offsite for two days talking about who died, what they were like, and who their families were. They have made grieving a class issue so that only management gets to go to the viewing, talk about who died, or take time off. Employees are fully expected to continue working as normal and we're pressured to just suck it up. This company does not care if you die. We've also had multiple contractor deaths, which they don't talk about. Also, multiple safety issues. Also, an overall toxic, misogynistic, racist culture. Pretty much the worst, most abusive, exploitive, toxic place I have ever worked. Save yourself your sanity. You might not make it out alive. No job is worth that.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
