Pros

Medical benefits are great.

3 weeks paid parental leave for mothers and fathers.

Pay is pretty okay.

Annual bonus is normally fair.

Cons

I constantly feel like an expense instead of an asset.

Promotions are rare.

Job stability in BR&T is constantly precarious. I've never felt like my position was safe.

Senior management has been driving us into the ground by botching statement of work distribution across sites, leaving sites disproportionately taken care of, especially in BR&T.

We are always last to get on contract due to intense levels of bureaucracy.

Procurement is a nightmare.

Go4Zero safety policies are a running joke.

Most of all, Boeing employees are not treated like adults. We operate in a nanny state with zero trust or empowerment to do our jobs.

Advice to Management

Change all upper echelon management.

The level of bureaucracy in the company is staggering.

Start trusting your employees and quit constantly reminding us of how expensive and disposable we are.
