Pros

Hours and benefits okay, salary was sub-par for the work performed.

Cons

The company left me hanging after returning from a deployment to Afghanistan in 2009. I was assured that though the contract was ending, a position would be held for me at my location. The company never followed through, left me alone to make job arrangements - which included finding work with a competitor

Pros

If you want to work for a defense contractor, look at any other contractor first.

Cons

Top heavy in management. Have to be in the drinking crowd, or sleep with management. They are sucking defense contracts dry, and paying themselves high salaries in the process.

Pros

LM is a Large company with many locations. This allows to move around and work in many areas. LM is often rated as a great place to start your career. I agree this is a good company for junior employees who want to get experience. Benefits vary between the business units. I would say the range is from decent to bad. Since the company is so large there is a lot of investments made in tools to help employees manage their careers. There is also a decent number of conferences to attend and network and learn. Unfortunately you must pay/attend these conference on your on dime. Great leadership Principles

Cons

Pay is below market average. Mediocre employees create a demotivating work environment Not a team atmosphere, people trying to throw one another under the bus to keep their job lots of downsizing Time off varies by contract/business unit. vacation varies between 2-3 weeks, depending on the benefits package. Sick time is basically non-existent. Employees are expected to flex time to make up any time off.
