Great place to work, some great perks too
Aircraft mechanic (Current Employee), Oak Harbor, WA – May 22, 2013
A typical day at work is quite pleasant. A great bunch of co-workers, who are very knowledgeable.
The most enjoyable part of working at L-3, is actually two things. One of them being, the people that I work with. The other, would have to be the travel.
The hardest part of the job, I would have to say is doing the job aboard an aircraft carrier.

Good Company. Up's and Down's with Defence Industry
Manager (Current Employee), Anytown, MA – May 16, 2013
Pros: good pay good benifits
Cons: like all corp's they have thier "rules". too much corp "pork"
Work varies from slow to busy
Excellent Cooperation between Mid Managers
Good Team approach to programs
Good funding to get what you need to get the job done

Too much Corporate Overhead and "Empires" . I don't think they bring in enough compared to their pay and the cost of direct reports.

Job is good, for the most part. working for our military.
Aircraft Mechanic/Service Technician (Former Employee), Savannah, GA – May 13, 2013
Pros: help keep our soldiers / military functioning at its top performance.
Cons: always waitting on parts, money, and management decisions.
The job for the day is to stay with in the operations objectives and keep under costs. The people you work with are over all good in general. The management needs work, but the job is always in turmoil. Do to the company does not talk to the government, to keep jobs available on site. Better management, better communication, better money management, – more... can make a big difference. Company is all about how it can make money off the cost of the contracted employees, instead of the contract. Key, never under bid yourself, unless you do not plan to make money. Plan your objective and stay on contract. – less

Productive Work Place
Aircraft Worker (Current Employee), Oak Harbor, WA – May 4, 2013
Decent company for the most part. Issues w/ pay and certain incentives for qualifications that took a while to get ironed out. I can't say I have any other issues aside from not having a website to check pay, benefits like my previous employer.

Level 3 is a great place to work
Portal Support Specialist (Current Employee), Broomfield, CO – May 3, 2013
Pros: great location, great people, great management
Level 3 is a great place to to work for me because of the great people I work with and the wonderful location in Broomfield, CO. In a nutshell, my team (MyLevel3 Portal Support) is a trouble shooting team. We communicate with our customers, via several different methods, research the issues presented to us, and resolve them. Our greatest responsibility – more... is to make certain the customer knows that we will handle their problem and not simply had them off to another person. In the event that we cannot assist (for example, if a customer has an issue with their contract, which has to be resolved by their account team) we will make it very clear that we will be contacting their account team and once the account team is brought up to speed hand the customer off to the proper people. Also, we will make it clear to the customer that if they do not receive the resolution they need, to come back to us and we will continue to research the issue. – less

Not a bad place to work
Senior Trainer/Developer (Current Employee), Greenville, TX – May 1, 2013
Pros: flexable work hours
Cons: job security
the ability to flex your weekly hours is a huge bonus, however the lack of sick time seperate from vacationtime is a big negative. management is very supportive and allows employees the ability to develope programs without being micromanaged.
