Pros
9/80 Flex schedule - Every other Friday off.
Cons
HR and Recruiters' communication skills and professionalism are abysmal. There's very little to no opportunity for upward advancement. Management is unable to do the one thing they are supposed to - manage. Health benefits and benefits in general are horrific for a company this size. Resumes are thrown to the side by recruiters who don't even understand the job they are hiring for and are not even a part of the interviewing process. The first 5 hours of overtime is considered "free" because "you are a professional and are expected to act as such" which is extremely unethical and most likely illegal. In this state, overtime MUST be paid unless the employer and employee both agree that any hours worked over 40 hours for the week will not receive compensation. No where do employees ever agree to this, Lockheed just doesn't pay for the first 5 hours of overtime.
