L-3 Communications Employer Reviews

This company bought older companies that I used to work for.

Needed more support to do the job exspected from my team. Had no tools, no help from leads on admin. problems etc.

Resolved employee issues related to employee benefits.
Reported worker's compensation claims.
Interviewed potential candidates.
Conducted employee terminations.

A typical day at work consist of answering phone calls,emails and web tickets for assistance with government computer systems. Trouble shooting and offering first level assistance for solutions. Escalating cases to the next level for assistance if necessary and logging all information into databases. I've learned a lot about computer systems and how – more...  the government uses them to manage all types of operations. Management supports the team but it is difficult sometimes to get resolutions due to the fact that we are contractors and everything has to be approved by our company and the government. My co workers are very freindly and we all work well together. The hardest part about my job is working 12 am to 8am shift and working a lot of weekends but the best thing is the hours that I work is the time frame that we get the most calls from Afghanistan and other areas overseas due to the time difference. I feel like I'm giving back in some way to the people that fight for us when I can assist them with a problem they are having. – less

never had any issues with L-3, everybody was always nice and helpfull with any problems i had.

I was with the company for 1 and half years, as a contractor. As a job and a overall company all was pretty well. Plenty of experience and personability for personell. Lacked overall corporate cohesion, especially in security. Security is very knowledgeable, but accountable and dependable to get information where it needs to go.

Management gets involved.
They believe in promoting within the company.
The benefits are fantastic.

After contract loss it appears that the management on the east coast has given up on seeking contracts for the mid-west.

With the new management team, people feel unsecure. In the past, it was a great place to work.

Solid company with good benefits and pay. As with many companies, systems were not well integrated and each business unit was allowed to run their current applications. My management experience was not particularly good, but I'm sure this was an isolated situation. Overall, above average with good work/life balance and typically a 9/80 work schedule.

Really enjoyed working with this company. Gov contracting can be difficult at times but we had no problems at all. Great people and working with Marines again was great.

The management is terrible and HR is full of nepotism and racist in south Texas. It is lucky if you get treated like an adult. Usually once you are hired you are there for a longtime, as long as you do not mess up. However it is better if you do get hired there to keep looking for a better employment.
