Lockheed Martin reviews

This company came into the contract with what seems like literally NO sense on how to run a business. As workers, we had received word that Lockheed had won the bid for the contract at Ft. Campbell. I was personally excited. Lockheed, having been a successful company for a century now, led me to believe they had some clue as to what they were getting into. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. It took over two weeks after starting before they began to acquire our information in regards to setting up benefits. By benefits, I mean our pay! Yes, we went to work for weeks before they "got around" to seeing towards paying us.... yeah, so good start. I can't really elaborate on the fun we had with our incredibly overpriced Health benefits. I'm a 25 year old, single male with no pre-existing conditions. According to their plan, I would be paying $177 a week. A WEEK. Yeah, $708 a month for their CHEAPEST coverage.... I won't get into how they selected their leadership. After close to a month with the company, we finally met our supervisor. His first message was praising us for our hard work and dedication. Literally the next day, the first round of layoffs hit. Mind you, there was no mention of this at the unpaid, after work meeting. From that point, workers have been being laid off seemingly weekly. Our personelle has dropped by close to 100 workers, deadlines have been cut, workers are being asked not only to do their jobs quicker and with fewer resources, but are also, now being left with the responsibilities of those that have since left. All this in an environment where no one knows if the next day they'll still have a job the next day.

Work is NOT challenging. Most of it seems pointless. I would probably get rid of half the people since it seems like a lot of people do nothing. I can usually get most of my tasks and projects done pretty quickly, but then I have to figure out how to kill time the rest of the week. It's hard to stay motivated. Management seems moronic. There's an art to looking busy and it seems management can't tell the difference between those that work and those that pretend to work. I have friends that work tons of OT (even weekends) and are still level 1's, yet I've gotten promoted twice for doing nothing, just because I've had managers that liked me. It truly is like Office Space.
