Pros

Working at Boeing provides opportunities in almost any field available as a career. From being and mechanic, electrician, security, engineer, management. The opportunities to work were you want are endless, but based on qualifications. Training is very important to the company and is the highest priority to ensure a quality product to their customers. The benefits are phenomenal at Boeing; Medical, dental, vision, pension plan, paid time off, vacation, sick leave, and the list goes on. Boeing has provided 3 genreations in my family healthy and steady paychecks to pay bills and live comfortable lives. I am proud to promote I work at Boeing.

Cons

The downsides are very minimal. Personally its gaining experience/ time with the company to be able to move to other job opportunities within. But thats competition within the company and employees. This helps to strive to be the best you can be at your job. Other downsides can include a lot of overtime, though the company counters with great pay (time-in-a-half/double time) it can be hard on families and even personal time away from work. Unexpected lay-offs always loom over Boeing's reputation. Seniority is also very big with Boeing, but from witnessing seems to be more of a qualifying term to other job opportunities then someone who has maybe has less time and more experience or even better qualified. ( These mainly pertain to production Manufacturing jobs then others within Boeing.)

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
