Pros

There is no good reason to work for Boeing in the midwest. The only positive thing i can say is your paycheck will always clear at the bank.....but its not very much

Cons

Bloated managment. Low pay. Union is a complete joke that will cost you another $100 dollars a month you womt be able to afford. Your first year you will have no vacation or sick time. If you ever take time off and come back your seniority will atart over. It will take you 15 years to get up to $26 per hour (the most you can make)but everyone around you with more than 5 years will be making $38 an hour. They will add responsibilities everyday but never add money to your check. They will never EVER give you a merit raise no matter how good you are (or think you are). There is a really good possibility you will be laid off. Not allowed to listen to music. Not allowed to wear comfortable shoes. Not allowed to smoke on your lunch break. Not allowed to have a phone. If you flip your glasses up to read some fine print its an automatic CAM. If you make a mistake thats another CAM. One more cam and your fired. But hey at least you get to take home $800 every two weeks. Id mow grass if i were you.

Fantastic benefits and work-life balance. 401k match is unmatched!

Easy to get pigeon-holed into a role. Try exploring ways to stay pro-active and do different things

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.
