Pros

Great pay and benefits Usually 40 hour weeks

Cons

Stuck in the same job you started in after many years. LM would rather hire someone outside the company for management than promote from within.

Pros

Security Clearance Great pay out of undergrad (because of shift differential) Lots of other young/recent grads Smart people Advancement opportunities (if you like satellite operations) NEVER bring work home with you - you'll go to jail if you do! 8 hours per day... and that's it!! Great hours/benefits

Cons

Shift Schedule - The rotating shift schedule was tough. It's hard for some to stay healthy becuase of the hours, eating habits, etc. And bye bye to half your weekends! The company is HUGE and obviously pretty silo-ed. If you want to go somewhere else after your 18th month stint it's not like your boss can call his buddy over in a different business unit to help you out. I thought the work was incredibly boring. Many of my peers LOVED it and wanted to stay in highly technical satellite operations for the rest of the career, never seeing the light of day, traveling, etc. I think I'm almost too much of a mover/shaker for a job like this.

Pros

Job security Good for entry level You will learn good info (IT) if you take on new responsibilities Good Work life balance in entry level/lower level positions.

Cons

Pay is average or below Once you are an employee your raises will be very small. Get what you can up front. Difficult to move up/advance. Little to no formal training.
