Pros

Boeing offers a lot of opportunities & benefits that many employers don't, like great healthcare insurance, in-house education, & business discounts.

Cons

Within the past 3-5 years, Boeing has been treating its employees with less & less regard & respect. I became more & more unhappy as time passed. My last manager didn't listen to his employees & did whatever he decided was best even though he had no experience in Commercial Airplanes. At this point, I would never encourage someone to work at Boeing because they wouldn't be treated well.

Challenging... not in a positive way

Pros

Pretty good benefits, big name

Cons

There is no investment in you as an employee. They can leave you in a niche for years without caring about your growth. There’s a large culture of stagnation and “we’ve always done it this way”. No real innovation happens. Another really glaring problem is the fact that they’ll never let you go, no matter how terrible of an employee you are. You can be a parasite who contributes nothing and still be on the payroll as long as you keep your head down. There’s no long term vision. Upper management expects you to get things done but there’s not a culture of planning for the future so people’s jobs are less cluttered and less about fire fighting. Instead, there’s constant finger pointing and knee jerk reactions to problems that can be solved if leadership would only put the initial investment to implement technology or training that will contribute to long term growth and not just band-aids. It is truly a shame that a company with such a magnificent legacy is run this way.

Pros

Steady paycheck. Above average wages.

Cons

Pitiful working conditions; soggy location; inbred, arrogant and mostly ruthless management; non-negotiable salaries and/or assignmentconstraints; age discriminatory; coworkers may be mostly strangers; lack of peer promotions (none, 0) over a 10 year span; lack of organizational direction; organizations use employees to perpetually reinvent arcane processes, needed or not; job assignments and performance appraisals are used to keep employees off-balance to avoid promotions.
