Pros

The lead guys in the shop are very willing to help out. Engineering can be a hassle to deal with.

Cons

Don't get into the weeds or the political side of Metal Shark. Just when you think you have a friend in higher places, they stab you in the back. just keep your head down and work. No matter how many hours you are having to work. They are supposed to be family oriented but 60 hours a week or more for 6 months straight or longer. They could care less if you have time to spend with your family. It's about getting their boats and contracts completed.

Pros

As my first position within the shipbuilding industry, my efforts were valued and welcomed as an invaluable contribution to the company’s success. From the start, the whole team truly valued my years of experience from a long and successful military career and were open to new thoughts and ideas.

Cons

In general, shipbuilding is a highly competitive industry, particularly for a small business. The role was highly demanding and required, at times, a large investment of time to get things done right. Not necessarily a bad thing as I was provided all the decision making latitude to produce results, which is highly rewarding.
