Pros

Good pay for my area. A lot of the people I worked with were nice.

Cons

It was boring. They expected you to be very unemotional and rigid. We were also told that we were making a part of history and that the site would stay open but then the same person handed us notices informing us that we were being let go. A terrible way to go about it.

Pros

I worked at the F-16 Program in Ft. Worth, now Lockheed Martin. Excellent employee stock purchase plan, if you want the share certificates they will mail them to you.

Cons

Stodgy, good old boy ex-military mgmt. structure, it really helps to be ex-Air Force. Terrible Union relations, wanted salaried employees to work unpaid after hrs. as security guard during strikes. Strict, authoritarian corporate culture & workplace atmosphere. Salary so low I acquired a 39% raise for the exact same job relocating to CA.

Pros

I liked the people (local). Benefits are good, company values are very good and usually retention if very high

Cons

Unfortunately they created a position for me as a promotion, then the powers above my boss decided there wasn't enough revenue coming in to handle my salary so I was let go due to funding. Had I know that ahead of time, I would have stayed in my position as the Finance Manager.
