A great place to work and grow in your career.
Fire Captain (Former Employee), San Diego, CA –
Pros: good career advancement and a great place to work
Cons: careers at g.d. cut short, for reasons not worth mentioning
It was like being in the fire service, medical field and safety department a very exciting job. The management was very
supportive and understanding. The hardest part of the job
was when we had to close down I wanted to finish my
career with General Dynamics for at least 10 more years.
It was very hard to find a job with the opportunities G.D.
had to – more...  offer. The most enjoyable part of my job was
supervising my crew and seeing them perform excellent.
I enjoyed the friendships form with other G.D. staff over
my 20 years of service I miss that. – less
