Pros

Boeing IDS or the whole company for that matter, provides unlimited opportunities for career advancement, technical skills and personal growth. If you dedicate your time and attention to helping the company achieve its business goals and objectives, it will help contribute toward you achieving your career and personal goals and objectives. It is not always about the salary (though that is no doubt important), but it is also about the awesome benefits the company provides from medical, dental, retirement savings plan and college reimbursement plan, etc.... Some have posted it is a good company to start a career and I say it is also a good company to continue and end your career at. In my 23 yrs there has been a lot of blood, sweat and tears; the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat; I would not have it any other way. The successes and achievements far outweigh any difficult times I experienced on the various assembly lines, working for various management and working in various countries. My career and benefits have enabled me to bring five wonderful children into this world, purchase four homes and enjoy wonderous vacations....so yea, you can say I have lots of reasons why Boeing is a great place to work.

Cons

I can't really say there are any, other than the occasional manager who has not figured out his/her employees are the most valuable asset they can have.

Pros

Pay and compensation are probably better than most other companies would pay me based on my level of education. Honestly, to think that I'm 10 years from retirement...but only 2 years away from a six-figure salary...and I have NO degree. A few college classes and 10 years in the military. Simply Amazing. I'm not micro-managed, and have to work HARD to put in an 8-hour day. Most of the people who I manage are egg-headed engineering types...and my background is hourly...most of them have at least a bachelor's degree...and I'm their boss. Nowhere but Boeing could I find this. Life's good

Cons

For me personally, it's the commute. Boeing has plants/offices/sites spread as far as 50 miles apart in Seatte-land, and I've ended up having 40 miles between my home and my office.; Sure, I could move....but how long before I might be transfered to a different site. Pay is great, hours are great, no one works so hard that they're going to die (at least not if you're smart enough to figure out that you don't have to kill yourself)....Pretty tough for me to find 100 words to describe a downside that I really don't see.....but, I do have llittle to compare with. Boeing's been my only job since the military.

Pros

The products Boeing builds are pretty cool and almost everyone in the world has heard of the company . Boeing's learning together program pays for 100% of any accredited educational program you would like to take. Even if the program has nothing to do with your job, i.e. engineers can enroll in culinary school and Boeing will pay for it. Also the opportunities to travel and for international assignments are always available.

Cons

It's a giant bureaucracy and if you think you can change it by yourself you'll be a very frustrated every day.
