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.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
