Huntington Ingalls Employer Reviews

I can't tell you what it's like because there are so many different things to do and see in the shipyard. It all depends on your perception and your job. The main thing I can say is that there are great opportunities working for Huntington Ingalls: NNS. Just have to stay positive, keep an open mind, and be thankful and grateful for what you have.

Of course Huntington Ingalls has great pay but from my experience it is not the best work place. The management sucks and they do not work with you.

very short breaks and no good compensation whats so ever lunches was really short

Great environment to learn, many knowledgeable employees willing to teach.

Strict rules short breaks . Interesting work but no job secerity

Good work.
How to use inventory software and track tools for due dates and recalls.
Management OK, but to many.
Co-workers great, most of them.
Getting tools from workers to return f or new calibration process.
Working and staying busy for the time to pass.

if you enjoy being treated like you're 10 years old, dont mind walking miles to work, having to get to work an hour before you go into work just to find parking, then this is the job for you.

Its like prison. From 6-330 they own you. You constantly fear lay off management doesn't appreciate anything. Its unionized so the lazyiest sorriest people get to keep jobs. The hard working people have to work harder while the dead weight gets heavier. I would recommend never working there if you have the opportunity to avoid it.

great co to work with if shipyard would not be closing. work hours were ideal, overtime was abundant and management was helpful.

I enjoyed working at Huntington Ingalls because of the many people you come in contact with. I was taught well by mydifferent mates, management could be better. The reason I say this is we are adults and should be treated like adults and not kids, The hardest part of the job was management, The most enjoyable part of the job was making sure that the – more... compartments you were assigned passed inspection. I would bring accomplishment to all involved.Overall the job was a great place to be a part of.There was nothing hard about the job at all. – less

I enjoyed working here but they were closing down. We worked on Navy ships. We built the vessels from the ground up.

The work load depends on your assigned work location, sometimes it's very easy but sometimes you can be put in tight areas.

they are a very safety continence company, decent pay, cost of benefits a little high but basically a good place to work. their welding school is top notch.

the job was great, i love to weld. working on the carriers was amazing. i will never forget it.

The most enjoyable part of the job are the challenges you overcome to get the job done.

A great start after leaving the military. The Management teams are a bit weird but a good place to work when there is nothing else out there.

Good working environment unfortunately the Avondale yard is closing in 2013

Typical day at work is welding at a set pace enjoyably

I learned NOT TO JOIN THE UNION

Management was not good as i could have been some supervisors dont have a back bone and cant speak for them self the do any and every thing ones above them tell them to do

hardest part was what ever you are weak at

best part is what ever you are good at

THIS JOB IS SERIOUS THERE IS DANGER ALL OVER NO HORSEPLAYING AT ALL WHEN HERE THIS IS A GOVERNMENT BASED JOB
