Pros

The benefit package is nice, especially education benefits.

If you want to get a degree in basket weaving, Boeing will pay for it. Can't beat the health benefits either, although costs are going up a bit.

Most everything you could possibly need (medically) is covered, prescriptions as well. Retirement/pension package is decent.

Cons

Communication is sometimes difficult in a large company. Processes and red tape can be a nightmare at times. Overtime pay is not time + half; it's time + $6.50, which sucks. Overtime and stress can be great at times, depending on the project.

Advice to Management

Communicate with the lowest-level employees much more than you do. Often, it is they who really see what is going on. Try new strategies to alleviate politics.
