Pros

You get benefits but honestly, if you have severe or unique health conditions you still pay a pretty penny out of pocket. 10 hour days 4 days a week=3 day weekends. Major holidays are paid time off. You get sick time and vacation time.

Cons

Supervisors don't care how you get the work done, they just want to push numbers. If you get in trouble for doing work wrong, Supervisors will deny pressuring you to finish the work. They are very unforgiving when it comes to manufacturers breaking but supervisors and higher level union members get away with almost everything. Giant tension between the company and the union that represents the manufacturers. An ethics investigation can take months so if someone hurts you, stalks you or says something inappropriate, make sure you have every piece of evidence you can get and be prepared for it to last months. It can be easy work but some people get stuck in areas where the work is very tedious and difficult. You are exposed to a lot of chemicals. They will try to tell you some chemicals aren't dangerous.

Pros

None of value beside high salary in the area

Cons

Not a typical engineering company. I have not seen a company like this and don’t think it will survive too long. Its unlike any other company - Any engineering concept is twisted before using and huge objection to any standard methods. Measurements that require instruments in other companies are done by experts using naked eye, data is not valued BS is. Anyone coming from any manufacturing company is going to get frustrated among bunch of technicians who have no idea about what happening outside in manufacturing world and they grow to become managers directors too. Salary is good and its a trap so you cant leave easily but it comes at a cost of severely frustrating you. Won’t recommend to anyone educated, knowledge seeking growth oriented person. If you are desperate go ahead.

Pros

9/80 work week. Work life balance is good (if you don't work on the assembly line).

Cons

Where to begin...… benefits are not very good. The high deductible health plan for salary employees sucks! Compensation for salary employees is terrible! Shareholders weren't happy with their returns so the company is taking benefits away from the salaried work force to reduce cost which increases share holder value. No pension after 2020. Other than a paycheck, there is no real incentive to working for Lockheed Martin anymore.
