Pros

The Learning Together Program is by far the best reason to work for Boeing. Boeing will pay 100% for any class from any accredited college and will give you a stipend for books. There is no limit to the amount of classes you can take per year and no limit on the tuition you spend. Also, when you graduate, they give you 100 shares of stock to congratulate you.

Cons

Job security is one of the downsides of working for Boeing. The aerospace industry is highly cyclical, and when Boeing lays off, they lay off big. It was rare to meet anybody who worked there who had not been laid off at some point.

Advice to Management

The Peter Principle is in full effect with this company. People get promoted to their highest level of incompetence, and that is where they stay. They continue to be incompetent and are never removed from their position.
