Pros

Boeing is a huge place to work. There are endless opportunities, and you'll eventually find the one you're interested in. The pay is above market average, with fairly well benefits and paid education. These are just general perks you get for working at Boeing.

If you like job security, see the coolest technology on the market, or try different things as an engineer, Boeing would be a good place for you to start.

Cons

Same reason as the best reason. Boeing is too big, it takes forever to get things moving, get a promotion, get things changed. There are too many hard-headed senior workers that only like the old ways.

When you are in Boeing, you'll start to see the cracks and flaws for such a big company.

If you are big on change, want to see results with huge vision, or have great passion to have something done your way, it won't be such a good entry job. It wears you thin. When the pressure is on, the pressure is truly on, big time.

Do remember, there's probably one job at Boeing that you like. You'll just have to work your way there.

Advice to Management

Listen to the leads of the lowest level. They are the ones who know what needs to be done and are making things happen.
