Pros: Benefits are decent. There are multiple options for health and life insurance, retirement building, a free gym membership to company gyms, and company discounts for outside local fitness centers. An advantage is flexing your schedule to meet your work/life balance.

Cons: Base pay is a lot lower than what competitors offer, and sometimes promotions either don’t happen or are not significant pay increases due to funding and budget.

Pros: 1. Tuition coverage plan (called LTP) is amazing. If you want a MS or PhD in a technical field, Boeing will pay for all of your classes and materials (not a reimbursement program like most companies). However, you owe Boeing 2 years after your graduation date; otherwise, you have to pay everything back. 2. Traditional medical plan is inexpensive, with a lower deductible. 3. Better than average PTO plan. 4. Company recognition means it is a good name to get on your resume.

Cons: 1. Great place to start your career as a recent college grad, and a great place if you are happy with an OK salary and plan to coast. The company does not recognize or promote employees based on workload or work ethic. Employees are asked to do P4/P5 work but get paid as a P1/P2/P3 if you are lucky. Salaries are much less than what you see in the private sector. Cost-cutting efforts are focusing on taking away employee benefits (promotion opportunities, lower salaries, no more pensions, a medical plan slowly getting worse, etc.) instead of addressing the real issues (paperwork and supplier management costs). The employees suffer. Many younger, high-potential employees are leaving due to a lack of career growth or promotions. 2. The Huntsville Technical Fellowship is a good ol' boy club; there is no support for minorities and no interest in diversity. 3. Low salaries compared to other companies of the same type (LHM, NGC, etc.).

Pros: Great benefits: 401k, insurance, etc.

Cons: Bureaucracy, politics, leadership incompetency, and a lack of actually leading or motivating employees.
