General Dynamics Information Technology Employee Reviews about "salary"

Pros

It is a decent company with competitive salary and benefits depending on your contract or assignment. If you work in a right team, there is a lot of opportunity to learn and be part of a solid team.

Cons

If you work under a government contract, it may be difficult to move upward. You pretty much follow what is in the contract.

Pros

Opportunities to grow your skillset. Freedom to design needed networks and systems. Management offers positive feedback and encourages a good quality of life approach toward work. Global opportunities. Ability to work on state of the art technologies.

Cons

Salaries are a little lower than the industry average but the work environment and freedom mitigate any negativity. Some HR policies

Pros

The average Work Schedule is unbeatable. The company is outstanding in its communication standards.

Cons

Average salaries could be better for our specific role based on the amount of support we give the customer.

Pros

Enjoyable atmosphere Modern workplace I love my coworkers Enjoyable work

Cons

Might be underpaid but this is my first job out of college so my salary will only be going up

Pros

Employment opportunities for retiring/separating vets

Cons

Consistently lower wage salary and higher deductible for medical coverages than previous federal contractor companies I previously was employed

Pros

Great opportunities to gain experience and learn within the various programs within the company.

Cons

Sometimes hard to earn your worth due to small salary increases during the merit review process.

Pros

GDIT does offer great benefits and your work hours will be decent but your salary will be low. I never had a problem getting time off when I needed it.

Cons

It is a good place to work if you don't expect competency and ability to lead to promotion. The only way to be promoted is to demonstrate your ability to just get along for 10+ years. You will not be appreciated for working long hours, having ability, or getting things done. Best thing to do is just what your told and nothing more, and don't think. This is not a team environment, this is stovepipe factory where all solutions are dictated to individuals who do not collaborate.

Pros

Working closely with the military soldiers was the best part of this job.

Cons

There didn't seem to be any concern for instructor pay. The instructor salaries were flat and most increases were not more than a cost of living increase. GD hires a lot of retired veterans and uses this as an excuse to not give decent increases.

Pros

It's the largest employer in town. The pros pretty much end there.

Cons

Salaries are low and yearly raises are miniscule. Staff continues to be cut while expected to maintain the same amount of work or more. Benefits are not great. Staff morale is the lowest it has ever been. There is very little room for advancement. I see many qualified and competent individuals stay stuck in low level positions. There is little support for training and development as all time is focused on keeping up with the workload.

Pros

Very Team Oriented A lot of room to grow your skills Very Flexible Work Schedule

Cons

Salary increases are few and far between until you get at least 2 years into the job Contract Work can lose funding and therefore lay offs may happen
