Pros

The benifits....The benifits are the best reason to work for the Boeing Company. The Boeing Company will pay for any college classes that you want to take for any degree that you want to persue. They will also give you shares of stock for completeing a degree with them. Medical is paid in full by the company along with dental, vacation is a guaranteed 1 week a year, but the more hours that you work the more time you can get to take off. Pay is ok, but not up to par with the rest of the aerospace industry. They aslo have a recognition program that is good.

Cons

Long hours, treated unfairly, the union doesnt support you, management has no clue what they are doing. Depending on the program that you are on depends on how much support you do or do not get from management. The new program has alot of down falls that are because of the management, of course they are blaiming the mistakes on the union and the strike that happened in 08, but all in all it was the business plan that screwed them along with outsourcing portions of the build process to other countries and allowing them to retain the blue prints.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
