Cons
The size of the work force at Lockheed Martin Space Systems is highly dependent of the whims of Department of Defense spending. The technology that Lockheed Martin Space Systems develops is high-tech, but it is also old. The first 5 hours of over-time worked each week at Lockheed Martin Space Systems is gratis to the company. After working the first 5 hours, of over-time, you can be paid for additional over-time worked if your manager approves. Lockheed Martin Space Systems does not cash-out excess vacation accumulation. Also, you effectively forfeit any earned vacation while you hold the excess accumulation (i.e., you don't accumulate the earned vacation).
