Pros

If you love aerospace it's a great place to work. I have friends here who dreamed of working for Boeing their entire lives. It pays pretty well for engineers, and fairly good salaries for non-union employees.

Cons

You have to be REALLY aggressive in job-jumping to get equal-to-cost-of-living pay increases. It's hard to say whether the management in your organization is going to be good or not. A lot of the benefits that Boeing has been topping the competition with have gone away or been lessened: paying for education has a cap and other stipulations now, medical costs are rising, some of the 401K matching is changing... Not the place I signed onto after college, benefits-wise. I am leaving the company, but the main reason is that I'm not being paid enough for such boring work. People here are either under-utilized and bored to tears, or overworked and management fails to fill the staffing needs.

Pros

They pay is okay for an A and P mechanic-not great however. The benefits are great as far as medical, dental etc.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement since there is an oppressive union structure there which is based only on seniority. Management are made up of a bunch of petty, incompetent, spineless cowards. Your fellow workers are all lazy union employees who will get on your case if you "work too hard". You will attend meaningless meeting after meaningless meeting for things like "employee involvement" which basically are brainstorming sessions to see how much more of Boeing's money we can squander in pursuit of nothing helpful. The company itself regularly lays people off at the drop of a hat. What you end up with is either a lay off or strike on the horizon at any given point.
