Pros

There are good benefits at Boeing and it is a stable, reliable company. It is difficult to get a laid off or a decrease in salary.

Cons

The instructions given for assignments are minimal and unclear. Sometimes money is tight and scheduling is inflexible, depending on your group. It is easy to get a bad manager. Many managers are not a fit for the job. They are often more suited to engineering.

Pros

Our benefits package is amongst one of the best - pension, 401K and company paid healthcare. For the most part its a stable company, so not being concerned about layoffs is nice.

Cons

There are few opportunities for growth. I graduated from college and took an administrative position, thinking that I would be able to grow as a professional. In over 10 years, I have not been able to move out of the administrative field, despite my best efforts (and great evaluations). The "good old boy" network is alive and well at Boeing and anyone who thinks otherwise is either a white, former military male or just stared with the company.

This is what a "good fit" employee for the Boeing should be.

Business Outlook

Pros

100% tuition reimbursement, employee incentive program, Share Value Trust (stock) award. It's one of the biggest players in the aerospace/defense industry. Management is pretty understanding when it comes to flex time, 9/80 work schedule, vacations, and working virtually (telecommuting). It's steady reliable work with steady reliable pay and benefits.

Cons

Base salary is on the lower end compared to competitors (such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin). I suppose the generous tuition reimbursement benefit is supposed to make up for it. Promotion process and internal hiring processes are murky, never quite sure what's going on. Time in grade in your job classification seems to be a very important factor. It's a big organization with all the bureaucratic red tape you would expect.
