Empty promises
A lot of empty promises about promotions. Expected you to work at management level for six months before promotion, then kept coming up with excuses on not promoting, but still expected you to work in that position.

A place you can learn everyday.
Great place to work. The biggest downfalls are the lack of vacation days, no paid sick leave, parking and the heat if your not in an office environment. Pay is fair for some and others very knowledgeable not so fair because of set pay grades. Most importantly you are serving your country building the best ships and subs in the world.
ProsIt’s a Job

Great work environment
Great Stepping stone towards future job seekers, allows great interaction amongst Navy and civilian personnel. Allows for greater understanding into job relevancy within the DOD organization and its counterparts, greatly enhancing mobility and mission effectiveness within the Naval armed forces. Company provides decent pay for decent work, all in all great productive environment for many intro level and semi-retired workers.

Management Philosophy
Huntington Ingalls has adapted the policy of hiring managers with no working knowledge of the department they are managing. Their philosophy is the manager only has to manage people and doesn't need job knowledge. This does not help the people they are managing when crucial decisions need to be made.
ProsBenefits
ConsTreated like a number rather than a person

Apprentice Mechanic | Gulfport, MS | Jun 7, 2014
i liked being a welder it was very demanding.I had more experience working with fiberglass..It was fun and rewarding .
I liked knowing that i had a part in building ships..My and other employees experience built ships to safely ferry our soldiers safely around the world. For the most part management was fair.My co workers were very knowledgable and fun to be around..The haqrdest part of the job was picking 45gallons of resin and carrying the heavy fiberglass materials.
ProsThere was room for some advancement, and better pay
ConsSometimes management didnt always listen to your concerns

What is the work environment and culture like at Huntington Ingalls Industries?
Asked Jul 21, 2016
It's hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. Being a good worker doesn't get you moved up in the company, I've had a Foreman tell me that himself. Most of the time it's the apprentices or through affirmative action that people move up the quickest, and the company is VERY open about that. Your foreman can be amazing or a straight garbage leader. Your crew can have folk who are nice and hard-working, or they can be toxic and lazy, it's really a roll of the dice, I've seen it all. The painting trade (X33) is often discriminated against when going to a tool room. Personally, I've been lied to my face when asking for a tool only for me to see the guy behind me get it as I walk out the line, or I'll mention one that's in plain view just for them to say, "Oh it's broken.". Also it's not the most intellectually stimulating environment to work in, things get extremely repetitive VERY quickly. Moreover, there's a huge problem with Huntington Ingalls tradesman being lazy and dragging work out. On top of that, a lot of female workers within the painting department (but not all) are put on a pedestal and won't even have to lift a finger to work. Sometimes your work is so light, trivial, and mundane you'll have to struggle to stay awake and alert. Other times you could be behind schedule and running your body into the ground trying to get the job done, which is NEVER worth it imo. Oh and It's a shipyard so danger presents itself in the most unapologetic fashion in many places of the yard. Union dues are incredibly low, ironically the Union has an iron grip on the yard, if you're comfortable going to your foreman talk to them please. Insurance is cheap, but paid time off is a pile of garbage. You get a whopping total of 40 hours of use it or lose it paid time off. And this is assuming you have perfect attendance the entire year. Some crews struggle to find work just for the weekday. Other crews are working 10 or 12 hour shifts shifts 5-7 days a week. Having great people in my crew and a particular foreman I've taken a liking to for his humor, fair treatment of workers and his strong competency of the job has made the work bearable and at times delightful. If it wasn't for them this place would be depressing. Your mileage may vary.
