Pros

Boeing can provide a relatively stable job for fair compensation and competitive benefits. The company is full of smart, knowledgeable employees. The products are wide-reaching and making a difference in the world. Employee development programs exist that can help you network and explore other opportunities. Boeing has a diverse workforce and promotes diversity in the workplace.

Cons

The current economy makes it difficult to get promoted, and the raises are not very wide in range. This means someone who is rated very highly won't necessarily get a much higher percentage raise than a slacker. You have to look out for yourself for career advancement. Many people feel too busy to actually use their vacation days.

Advice to Management

Make sure you focus on the career development of your younger employees and ensure they feel compensated for all the extra work they are asked to take on as employees retire.

Challenging work is rewarding for a while, until work-life balance suffers and there are seemingly no promotions or significant raises. Many stay for the benefits packages, so don't let them dwindle away.
