Pros

9/80, family time, pay, cafeteria food.

Cons

Discriminating HR, incompetent management. They both work together to keep the employees that don't want to work or use their brain. They treat Union members like garbage. The professionals are highly underpaid, especially the engineers that are well educated and highly intelligent.

Pros

If you want to or in my case need to live in the area, this is most likely one of the best paying companies to work for. If you're one of the ones chosen to travel you will be going to exotic places for extended periods of time. If you're someone who enjoys doing nothing all day long and getting paid this is the place for you! If you like to work in an environment where it's not clear who the boss is you will love it there.

Cons

I could spend a week listing all the cons of working here because this is the most dysfunctional organization I have worked for in my life and that includes all of the jobs I had as a teen. The biggest con of working here is that the upper management is unethical in more ways than one. Management at this facility need "respect" training and need to be retrained in ethics. To list a few other more trivial cons; as an engineer the experience you gain will be of no value when you leave because you're engineering nothing, just assembling and testing parts, business travel with extended time away from home, no chance for promotion, engineers with little to no experience are the real managers because the "managers" are so weak, people who are called, "engineers" but have no engineering degree. Based on this it's not clear who the boss is. One manager I dealt with clearly saw us a boy scout troop to be managed in the same way....."a leader shall emerge!". That same manager would use examples from a sci fi TV show as to how the organization should be run. Management is out of touch with what's going on day to day so there is no recognition for your achievements or failures.

Pros

There is work to do, but not too much 'cutting edge' stuff. Benefits are nothing to cheer about, but at least they offer them.

Cons

There are plenty of 'jobs' listed in the internal website, but they appear to be written for a specific person when posted. Rarely do you get any feedback when you are no longer considered for a position. In an effort to be more competitive (standard line from upper management), benefits have been cut back in an effort to make NGC more affordable.
