Pros
Health benefits, 401K, and vacation. For the most part Boeing has the technology that is on the cutting edge and some of us really go after that. If you want it you can get it but you have to be very careful down in Charleston because with all the resources that Boeing is putting into the infrastructure you have managers who will abuse the system.
Cons
I started working with Boeing in 2012 as a direct hire with no aircraft experience, but I have an associates degree in mechanical electrical,, a power production specialist in the Air Force reserves for over 15 years and I was half way in completing my Advanced Network Communications bachelors degree at Phoenix online. I get there and I actually volunteered to help the electrical section out in the old Global Aeronautical building because they were like over a thousand jobs behind. So I figured OK I'm electrical I think that would be a good move for me. My girlfriend told me not to do this especially when I told her that they were 85 people short, her exact words were: there must be a reason for such a high turn over. So I leave from final Assembly and go right over there to mid-body. So I get there and introduced myself and I noticed that all the folks that were over there failing were mostly contractors and that they had been there awhile. They started confronting me with total nonsense blaming nicked wires on me, I one manager falsify my performance review who I did not even work for. I went to HR and reported it and it took them 8 months to fix ix and the next day I was terminated. The thing about it is that you would ask yourself what kind of company lets a manager falsify a performance review on an employee and nothing is done to that manager. This management system is do-do~! Simply because in this digital age something like that stays with you forever and for them to allow this to happen is crazy, and you go to HR and nothing is done at all. I have studied all kinds of corporate structure from the traditional pyramids to the team concept and I have over 20 years in the military and have been to all types of leadership schools. Boeing is putting these managers in these positions not because they are qualified but only because they can be controlled because they already know that they were put their as a favor. Now as an Advanced Network guy you kinda of know why they had problems with me even though I volunteered to help them. I was over qualified when I accepted the $16.34 as a direct hire and when I volunteered to help them those bums knew that I was way more qualified than then even though I had no previous experience. so they attacked me by falsifying my performance review. If you are a threat to them and a hard worker they will falsify your review in order for their friends to seem better than you. Stay away from Boeing,,, Until they get a Union especially if you have any kind of education. When you can report an offense like I did to HR something that is a fire-able offense and nothing is done to that manager who did it, why waste your time. They are absolutely playing by uncharted rules.
