Pros

Awesome health benefits, nothing paid out of pocket for the HMO plans. Premiums rose this year, but still Boeing is an industry leader. Learning Together Program provides for tuition reimbursement up to a general level (though not unlimited like it was in the past.) Paid overtime for exempt employees.

Cons

Promotions are difficult to come by. Time in grade, time in grade, time in grade.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
