General Dynamics Employee Reviews about "good benefits"

Pros

They have good benefits for 401K matching. They offer opportunities if you dont mind moving around to other locations. Good hours and good experienced friendly people to work with.

Cons

Highly stressful job created by an arcaic and broken operating system which management seems ambivalent to repairing.

Pros

Good benefits with an excellent PTO offering

Cons

Very limited growth opportunities within certain business units. Much talk about growth with little action.

Pros

They are a company that has positions world wide. They have offer a good medical/dental/vision/legal benefits package. There are a resonable amount of positions that allow for company growth. There is an option to buy leave in your first 5 years of employment. Afterwards you get the 3rd week free. A lot of the people you work with are good people. Managment has the ability to work with you in situations if needs be.

Cons

The downsides are that sometimes work is too demanding. You have to do so many things outside of work to progress that it's like you are still at work even when you're not. Management can be overbearing at times with their will. The base salary isn't quite where it should be but the difference might be made up in contracts where you receive housing. However not all contracts receive housing.

Pros

The benefits are really good.. A decent pay .. a good starting point

Cons

Like every where else you find those who will not give you two sense as well as those who will try their best at helping. I find that GD really lacks in training, that their job titles do not match the job you are actually doing, positions are more segregated so when you are looking for another positions with the same title you are lacking the skills you need to acquire it. Lacking in communications from supervisors on the job to management Depending on what you are doing outgrowing this company is not impossible

Pros

- Great People - Focus on providing the best service to their customers - Good benefits package

Cons

- Salaries were on the low side when I was there (2009-2010) - Poor performance evaluation policies (Company scale was 1-5; everyone at my site was rated between 3 (worst employees) to 3.9 (best employees) because site lead didn't want to justify higher/lower ratings.

Pros

There are many opportunities to grow and learn. The environment is very stable. There were never any worries of lay-offs or closings or anything like that. The employees treated each other with respect. Management is very concerned with the employee's well being. The work-life balance is great! The benefits are very good. The feedback given on performance reviews are helpful. The communication about the happenings of the company are spread throughout. Employee morale was very good.

Cons

The pay is a little on the low side. And I wouldn't call the technologies used "top of the line", in fact they might be a little dated.

Pros

Working for General Dynamics is one way to help our armed forces be protected by enemy threats. The benefits are pretty good and the company still has a pension plan.

Cons

The senior leadership doesn't always seem to completely understand the market and customers it works with, though there is a current effort to remedy some of this.
