Business Outlook
Pros
Products serve a useful function Great facilities and support personnel Supportive co-workers and low level management Good medical & retirement benefits Competitive salary structure Good opportunities for advancement . . . if you play by the party rules
Cons
The nature of the products (super reliable commercial airplanes) tends to discourage creativity and bog one down in rules, many of which can be outdated. The retention grading system can be threatening, and can discourage new ideas Upper management has in recent years seriously weakened the financial strength of the company re its development strategies of new models, which in turn has weakened job security
