Pros: Good place to work, good pay.

Cons: Little advancement unless you move around. Lots of paperwork and inefficiencies.

Pros: The place to be for work-life balance. Absolutely the best health care benefits around, including an available plan with $0 deductibles for less than $1000 a year and a $2000 deductible for no monthly premium. Hard to beat.

Cons: Strong performance is recognized by a $25-$100 "Pride Award" rather than promotions or above-average raises. In fact, promotions have been frozen due to layoffs. Job security is rapidly declining. Layoffs have increased, and voluntary layoffs have also been requested.

Pros: Firstly, the products. With over 6 different commercial aircraft and 160 different military products, Boeing can fill a wide variety of interests. In addition, Boeing has a global reach, allowing you to move around the country or the world as your life necessitates. The benefits are also amazing when one compares them to many of today's top industries. 100% of all education is covered, an 8% match on 401k dollars, and flex time are just a few of the things that make my quality of life here very high. Lastly, the people I get to work with are some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons: Because Boeing is such a large company, it has a very hard time communicating with every individual in a consistent and positive manner. Several of the mechanisms that Boeing currently uses are sorely out of date and unreliable. An additional issue is the "not invented here" mentality that some of the different Boeing sites express toward Boeing people from other sites. Boeing is doing a lot to fix this issue but still has a good way to go. These two issues are very much linked. As Boeing tries to act like one company, it is still communicating like several companies.
