Pros

9/80 schedule offers flexibility and every other Friday off. Management usually has your back. Wide array of benefits such as HSA, college discounts for family members, 401k,

Cons

Constantly outsourcing jobs to subcontractors instead of hiring actual staff. Got rid of pensions and therefore any incentive to stay at the company and not chase the dollar. All these other reviews about no promotions unless you change jobs is 1000% correct. Always shorthanded and an evident refusal to hire enough employees to get the job done on schedule without OT. For non hourly jobs, OT is straight time, not time and a half, and there is a 5 hour gate, so from hours 40.1-45 you earn 0 dollars. Hourly employees get time and a half for anything over 40. Some managers have absolutely zero clue how anything actually gets done and are poor leaders. Low pay - I rejected their first offer and got them to come up about 8k, then within my first year I got a market adjustment raise because it was still too low.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
