Pros

For contractors, there are almost no pros.

Cons

I was locked into a pay rate that was far below the industry standard. Whenever my duties would change to expand into more design work than my original contact stated, I was told I was about to be moved up into a new design category and I would get a raise at that time. That alone took over two years, and they then told me they had changed the level at which I would be given an increase. I was lied to by my manager on a daily basis.

Pros

Very large scale organization...much opportunity for different assignments., even without officially changing roles. Focus on facts and data has taken a lot of emotion out of meetings, improving decision making. Boeing's culture has produced a workforce of overwhelmingly decent, good people. Co-workers frequently become friends.

Cons

With opportunity comes complexity and even chaos. Job satisfaction depends a great deal on where someone winds up. There's been an influx of people, especially managers, from outside the old Boeing who don't share or aren't aware of the values that made Boeing a great place to work. Making someone a manager doesn't make that person a leader and where I work there's a lack of leadership. Buzzwords and catch phrases aren't the same as management and even the best metrics aren't a substitute for judgment or business acumen.

Pros

38 hour work week with possible 9 day fortnight

Cons

Management promote a toxic culture within the production team in particular. I have seen multiple people crying at work due to the pressures imposed by management. There is no trust and management don't care about their employees.
