Pros

If you show up to work, work a solid 37.5 hours a week...you can keep your job forever. Fantastic job security. Fantastic retirement benefits. The company produces cool products to be proud of!

Cons

Boeing finds a way to be MORE bureaucratic than the US government. All the highest up leaders preach openness and honesty, but instead you are told to stay quiet and comply with your hierarchical management team. Health benefits for non-Union are suffering dramatically. I no longer consider them to be a benefit. I have been a high performing analyst for 9 years with excellent year end performance review scores, but I don't "fit the mold" of what they envision management to be.... I don't see much career progression after 9 years.

Business Outlook

Pros

Proud heritage, awe inspiring new and older products from a high tech or defense and space perspective. International opportunities.

Cons

Bleeding employees and more cuts coming for some employees at some levels of experience at virtually all US locations. Still able to hire more early career employees for future opps on some programs. Continued struggles to be affordable compared to Airbus.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunity to move around and try different jobs.

Cons

Pay and benefits are very average for the industry. All incentives that were designed to motivate and retain employees are now gone. Management does a poor job at energizing and motivating employees. They rarely promote high performers, merit increases have little to do with job performance and are rarely large enough to cover the cost of living increases.
