General Dynamics Employee Reviews about "good pay"

Pros

Pay was excellent!! Traveled to great places!!!

Cons

Benefits have dropped!!! Management needs help!!

Pros

pay and benefits for the employed ranks

Cons

I watched when answering RFPs they would foster some of the least qualified personnel into the RFP and then couldn't figure out why they didn't win the contract.

Pros

The only pro is competitive pay

Cons

All GDIT employees at our site are white males and have always been white males dating back to when the team was formed. To suddenly have a female hired on the team years into its existence has created a horrible and clear-cut gender specific harassment and discrimination case most notably by the team leader, but others in the team as well.

Pros

It was decent pay and a clean office.

Cons

Expect too much while providing too little manpower and resources.

Pros

They provide great life-work balance, Flex-80 is like a 9/80 schedule but they allow you to make up missed time over 2 weeks to minimize PTO. It’s very nice to have some freedom of when you work (starting and leaving) providing you hit the critical meetings and support your projects. There are some great, smart talented people that work here and interacting with them is a real pleasure. The pay and 401K match is average but not outstanding.

Cons

It wasn’t first apparent, but with the decline of the government work/contracts you can begin to see the dis-functionality of upper management. The company is run like an upside-down pyramid. It’s normal to cut lower level employees and engineers to an extent, but when 50+% of the work force are cut, and not one manager above the engineering level is affected what does that mean? How could that possibly be related to horrendous overhead rates?!? (Note sarcasm) If you are an engineer you will be part of a “caste” system. There is a clear hierarchy that is not as apparent between departs as it is shown by management… specific departs were “pay leveled” by management, while others were given assurances their department wouldn’t get hit. – This makes sense based on your business model and technical products, but don’t claim to function as a “team” when there are clear favorites. (I am trying to be unbiased – I did NOT get pay adjusted)

Pros

Great supervision and above average pay.

Cons

Long hours and austere work environment.

Pros

Good pay for area! Opportunity for rehire is good.

Cons

Local site in rural area, does adhere to company's affirmative action policies. Not flexible on schedules. Does not recognize or show appreciation for hard workers. Constantly changing!
