Lockheed Martin benefits

Time off. Its hard to take time off because you get behind in your duties.

Did not receive benefits as an intern

I was able to purchase my house using a part of my retirement money

Earn more paid time off the longer you work for the company. Great 401K retirement plan. Great competitive pay. Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance are with great companies with comparable plans. Healthy living and gym membership is promoted. Virgin Health Miles points program is great for earning extra money to use towards co-pays, etc.

Nice matching 401K in the benefits package

Vacation is okay, medical needs work, but the educational benefits are very nice.

Stingy. Different parts of LM had much more substantial benefits

The best thing about the benefits package (at the time) was the two-week paid vacation during the Christmas holidays that did not count against personal vacation time.

The health insurance requires the employee to put up $1000 per family member as a deductible. With a wife and one child, I considered this an immediate demotion (I moved over with the same salary as my previous job). They do have incentives (money for checkups, exercise plan etc) but I would just rather pay more money and have no deductible. We think twice about getting needed medical care, and that is not good. The retirement plan is generic. There is absolutely no reason to stick with the company for the long-term. Maybe they want that by design.

Excellent benefits and savings program.
