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.

Pros

Boeing is a huge place to work. There are endless opportunities you'll eventually find the one you're interested in. The pay is above market average. Fairly well benefits. Paid education. these are just general stuff you get for working at Boeing. If you like job security, see the coolest technology on the market or try different things as an engineer, Boeing would be a good place for you to start.

Cons

Same reason as the best reason. Boeing is too big, it takes forever to get things moving, get a promotion, get things changed, too many hard headed senior workers that only like the old ways. When you are in Boeing, you'll start to see the cracks and flaws for such big company. If you are big for change, want to see results with huge vision or have great passion to have something done your way, it won't be such a good entry job. it wears you thin. When the pressure is on, the pressure is truly on big time. Do remember, there's probably one job in Boeing that you like, you'll just have to work your way there.
