Pros
Good pay, and very good benefits package. Company provides and encourages continual training in current jobs and future jobs and interests. They also have paid continuing education all the way thru Doctorates. Most all expenses are covered and usually the class load isn't restricted except when it interfers with work load and job deadlines. Most managers will work with the employee to balance work and school schedules. Inhouse prmototions and upward mobility are encouraged. Opportunities for advancement open up all the time and employees are almost pushed to try out for these openings. Most managers are open to helping employees who want to advance get opportunities to show what they and get training and menitoring for their weak areas.
Cons
Long hours occur when deadlines are approached and special projects come up. Getting out of them usually isn't a option. Office politics in some groups can really get extreme and stressful.Most groups aren't bad but a few that do can make it a hell on earth place to try and work. The managers seem to ignore the back stabing. The requiremnt to be 'PC' at all times can be a drag. Boeing comes on strong in tihis are due to previous law suits and Federal investigations. Because of the worldwide sales and work force(Boeing and onsite vendor/customers), language problems abound. It makes working with others a headaches at times. Listening with an open mind is a must. And being careful what and how you say is a full time job.
