      Pros

      Big Company with many opportunities with descent pay. The company has top notch technology and some great resources. Compensation in terms of pay and tuition reimbursment are good. The company has many positions and with some political savvy one can find a very rewarding position.

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic and not very progressive in career growth. Hostile environment for minorities. The company has some organizational challenges. Many younger engineers leave due to the lack of advancement and perceived lack of concern for career growth and challenging opportunites. The company has some cultural issues it is seeking to address, but the leadership gets in the way of itself at times.

      Overtime is great, but career advancement is not!

      Pros

      Lockheed provides may opportunities for working overtime. It also has great benefits! The benefits at Lockheed far exceed what many other companies offer. The hours available are very convenient for any worker. They offer 3 different shifts and close the plant for the week of Christmas. Managing your 401k is very simple due to the online, employee only website. An employee may also use this sight to check their paycheck, change their direct deposit, and keep up with their vacation time. Vacation time is earned with every hour that is worked. Therefore, if you work a lot of overtime, then you earn more hours. At this time, I have over 3 weeks of vacation available to me and I have already taken 2 weeks of vacation this year!

      Cons

      Lockheed tends to promote "friends" of management. They do not regularly promote for hard work and dedication. As an employee that has 21 years of experience in aviation that also holds a bachelor's degree in aviation as well as a master's degree in professional areonautics, it becomes very frustrating that my boss does not even hold a high school diploma! Lockheed in Fort Worth tends to hire people who have little to no experience because they "know" someone. Also, Lockheed in Fort Worth has a union. As a salaried employee, it is frustrating to manage union employees because it is very difficult to enforce a good work ethic.
