Pros: Great benefits and great teams to work with. Very enjoyable.

Cons: Very linear approach to engineering; could foster new, modern engineering ideas better.

Pros: Boeing hires many of the contractors they use.

Cons: Management does not give a definitive idea of whether you are staying or not.

Pros: In Charleston, there are none. In the northwest, many reasons. People are treated better than fair. In Charleston, not even close. In the northwest, great benefits. In Charleston, barely above average. Both in the northwest and in the Charleston site, there are a ton of good people with great attitudes and ideas, but only in the northwest does management listen. Even there, it can take time.

Cons: In the northwest, layoffs are the only con I can think of. In Charleston, the list could go on forever. In Charleston, there's only been one layoff to date, but less than two months after the layoff, they are hiring contract labor and not recalling laid-off employees. If only all the anti-union employees could get laid off, maybe they wouldn't be so anti-union. Management and organization are nonexistent. Anyone in management who knows what they are doing doesn't stay in Charleston long. I have never worked anywhere where "yes" is the only word they want to hear. It's not "Is it working?" or "Can we do it better?" It's just "Do it and don't ask questions or rock the boat." North Charleston is by far the worst Boeing site on the planet and has to rank pretty high with any aerospace company as the worst place to work.
