Productive with hard working employees that care about supporting the soldiers!
Material Handler II (Current Employee), Auburn, WA – April 7, 2013
Pros: good healthcare benefits and 401k retirement.
Cons: laying off employees, job is very uncertain at this time.
You would sign in and have a safety meeting. Then your day would be outlined by your specialist. You would learn what the changes would be for the future. The hardest part of the job is not knowing if you would get the "pink slip". The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to do your job with trust from upper management.

My overall experience with General Dynamics was beneficial. General Dynamics was the longest contract that I worked for.

Creating and keeping a daily log of Data – more... Center transaction for record purposes. Assisting other team when needed. Make and escort appointments for customers or outside contractors. Staying overnight for server maintenance or data center issues. – less

Like a Second Home
Associate Specialist Customer Service (Current Employee), Lawrence, KS – April 2, 2013
Pros: my coworkers, supervisors, and managers are all wonderful!
Cons: secure floor policy does not allow paper or electronics of any kind on our production floor.
I love what I do because I get to help people all over the country to understand their federal insurance benefits and help trouble shoot coverage issues they may be having. My work environment is productive and comfortable, and I know with our site's Open Door Policy that I can talk with a Manager if I have any questions or issues. The hardest part – more... of my job is probably dealing with difficult beneficiaries that have real heart breaking medical issues. The most enjoyable part of my job for me is the feeling of putting that beneficiaries mind at ease that YES, something can be done and they are not alone in their struggle. – less

Company with great core values and people who were enjoyable to work with
Senior Pricing Analyst (Former Employee), Herndon, VA – April 1, 2013
Enjoyed this job very much. Learned a lot about Excel modeling and pricing strategy from several co-workers. Learned how to do Excel models that would be least prone to user error. Learned how to present to upper management along with how to present the financials for a particular project in a concise and meaningful manner. My direct managers were truly – more... great to work for and would emphasize work-life balance when needed. The hardest part of the job was getting program teams to agree with the pricing and BD/capture organization about how the program was going to be priced in an executable fashion but also profitable fashion. Overall, thrived in the deadline driven proposal environment as there always was something to do or help out with for a given proposal. – less

Productive, great co-workers.
ENGINEERING LOGISTICS SPECIALIST (Former Employee), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD – March 31, 2013
Pros: benefits, co-workers (non-management)
Cons: upper management did not keep employees abreast of what was happening, and would lie if confronted on it.
The job kept me on my toes, always needed to be 3 steps ahead in my thinking. I learned the value of time management, how to deal with unhappy customers. The hardest part of my job was having upper management realize the needs of the warehouse. Once it was realized it was to late. Worked with a diverse group of people who were willing to teach and share – more... training. – less

HARD WORK IS FUN
Manager, Project Management (C-Level) (Former Employee), Woodbridge, VA – March 31, 2013
Pros: a lot of fun work
Cons: poor mid-managment
I really enjoyed the work that I did at General Dynamics, but too much an "Old Boy" culture allowed for promotion of unqualified managers into positions that affected morale and discipline. The work was fun and the people for the most part were great, but it was like firing a government employee when dealing with a discipline problem and management – more... would rather look the other way than deal with an in effective manager because of personal relationship. – less
