Pros

You have easy access to other opportunities within the company without management looking at you in a bad way. Boeing has the best health, dental, and vision benefits and most of their plans are free for you and your family. Boeing pays for any higher learning education even if it is not related to your career. As a Boeing employee you interact with lots of departments within the company and gives you a broad perspective of how a leading company works instead of being concentrated in one division; they offer different types of rotational programs for you to learn different departments. There is also a huge community composed of different cultures.

Cons

Even though you have the option of moving within the company, you have to stay in your position for one year before you can actually transfer. Since it is the Aerospace and Defense market, it is difficult to make changes and once changes are approved they take a lot of time and pacience to see the results. Also, you might encounter old "traditional" ways "to do things" and experience some resistance, but with the right way to present them there is no doubt changes could be made. Also some of the hours of work might be hard to adjust, like the 5:30 am to 2:00 pm. Waking up that early is hard to most people but leaving at 2 is nice since you have the afternoon to accomplish things.

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

The Learning Together Program is by far the best reason to work for Boeing. Boeing will pay 100% for any class from any accredited college and will give you a stipend for books. There is no limit to the amount of classes you can take per year and no limit on the tuition you spend. Also, when you graduate, they give you 100 shares of stock to congratulate you.

Cons

Job security is one of the downsides of working for Boeing. The aerospace industry is highly cyclical and when Boeing lays off, they lay off big. It was rare to meet anybody who worked there who HAD NOT been laid off at some point.
