Pros

Like most bigger companies, Boeing offers medical & dental benefits. Depending on the position, you may or may not have union representation. Unless you are looking at a union-represented job, I do not recommend working here.

Cons

For non-union jobs, you are required to work 4 hours without pay before you get any overtime pay (which is your base salary plus $6.50 an hour).

If you are treated unfairly, there is nothing you can do about it.

HR, EEO, and Ethics are there for lip service only and are there to protect management.

If you are not in a union and your manager does not like you or discriminates against you, you are on your own.

For non-union jobs, managers are given a blank check to give employees Performance Management ratings however they see fit. Some are fair, but many are not.

I'm not sure how some managers get promoted because many are completely incompetent. They have educations and egos, but lack experience and maturity.

The "good 'ole boys" club is still here, although they've gotten smarter about how they discriminate. Many organizations are still all, or almost all, white males.

You will be expected to work overtime on short or no notice (again, unless you are union, you will not be paid for the first 4 hours of overtime).

Advice to Management

Treat people fairly. Promote and reward experience in addition to education. Pay all employees fairly when it comes to overtime, typically time-and-a-half, and double time for Sundays and holidays.
