Boeing

Steady work, relatively high salaries compared to similar companies, and significantly higher salaries than most jobs and careers.

I can't really think of any. It's a company that treats its employees well. The cyclical layoffs though, that seem to happen every few years, I guess could be a con. But I'm not sure if there is really any job that is secure forever anymore.

The recently introduced (within the last couple of years, maybe 2018 or 2019) software, the Employee Interface Platform, that all employees are now required to use for any self-directed HR-type functions, is cumbersome and frustrating to try to use or find things inside it.

Our first-line supervisor counseled our whole group in a group meeting with his personal methodology when he was faced with having to use it. He writes down every detailed step he takes in a notebook as he's trying to find something within it, so that he knows the steps required once he finally reaches his objective when using this software.

That's how non-intuitive this software is. My own supervisor felt the need to coach/counsel all of us in a group meeting on how to deal with the interface. It was frustrating to use for everyone that I personally knew, in addition to my own experience with it.

I don't see how it got approved for company-wide rollout. Boeing is a great company, so this (in my humble opinion) was a big miss with the decision to roll it out for use.
