Pros

Great benefits and learning opportunities. The benefits are some of the best around and I think that they are constantly being improved. Also the brand is well known so you will have a lot more trust from clients just for having a well known and trusted name. If you take the time to ask questions and learn the products then you will likely have a nice place to move on to and a lot of knowledge about banking and finance. You can succeed and make good money but only if you make it a priority.

Cons

Salaries aren't always super competitive

Pros

Benefits package and well known brand name in a secure industry Boeing appealing. Benefits including health and life insurance are second to none. 401K and pension are very competitive. 100% tuition reimbursement makes advanced education very easy to attain. Jobs seem secure (never heard of any firings for even the worst performing employees).

Cons

Low pay and overall lack of appreciation for finance employees compared to engineering community (Guess it comes with the territory). Layer upon layer of bloated hierarchy makes it difficult for anyone other than the lucky and the most self-serving to get timely promotions. Great educational benefits are offset by the fact that advanced degrees and licenses get no recognition in the work environment.

Pros

When I first started at Boeing, I remember the excitement of being able to walk through the assembly hangers and see the whole supply chain in action. As a supply chain analyst, we were given some freedom to spend as much time as needed on the factory floor. Boeing is a great international company with many customers that dot the globe. Although there are not many competitors in the airplane industry, Boeing is able to stand firm in the quality of their airplanes. There were times we were able to fulfill orders to help the US Government and also celebrities like John Travolta.

Cons

When I first started at Boeing, I was told I would be assigned to work in Everett. I confirmed with HR that I would be assigned to work on the 747 supply chain group which is based in Everett. During the first day of orientation, I was given a small post it note which read, you will now be assigned to the 737/757 commercial group which is based in Renton (1 hour drive away or even longer depending on 405 traffic). The Boeing job started off poorly. Management did not encourage process improvement. I created a macro that allowed me to do my job twice as fast but my team leader told me to not share it with others as it may impact the norm.
