Pros

If you work in their their general or health services - aside from occasional interesting clients - none.

Cons

Poor program management and leadership. In spite of lip service and "performance process" they do not encourage innovation or new approaches to management or problems. I worked for a smaller company that was purchased by Lockheed. The benefits were reduced, program management was changed and our jobs were no longer fulfilling or rewarding.

LM Aero is Not the same as Lockheed Martin

Business Outlook

Pros

Aero has large long term contracts that historically has provided reasonable job security.

Cons

Manager an above leaders are too fearful of their image that they spend a great deal of their time positioning and covering their rears. This behavior disengages employees and shuts down day to day employee innovations. There are a lot of programs that are given lip service to employee engagement but most of the leaders do not know how to employ the skills let alone believe that they really matter to employee performance. At Ft Worth there are lots of leaders that say "No" to ideas but there are very few that are bold enough to stand up to the system and say "Yes".
