CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mission Area supports USSOCOM's 160th Nightstalkers Rotary Wing Aircraft: MH-6M Littlebirds, MH-47G Chinooks, and MH-60M Black Hawks

Cons

1. Lockheed Martin SOF GLSS is not LM as advertized. SOF GLSS is a services contract - not a for profit division. Facilities are dilapodated and broken. Employee morale is the lowest i have ever experienced. 2. Salaries start out below std LM salaries. Mgmt's approach is to plateau your hire-in salary and drive your pay down to 80% of the grade-level pay scale or lower. 3. No career path planning, no opportunity for high performers to advance, and no ascenssion planning.
