Pros
30 years ago when I joined Boeing the environment felt like you belonged to the Boeing Family. In certain job codes you can be promoted to senior management in less than 5 years when starting out as a paycode 1.
Cons
The Boeing environment has been deteriorating slowly over the years with reduction in benefits, reduction in keeping high end employees and ethical management behavior. When senior managers get caught, all employees pay in the way of lost bonuses and mandatory training that keeps piling on. Senior managers continue to get six figure bonuses annually no matter how good or bad the company performs. Bad employees cannot get fired Company eliminated paycodes 4, 5 & 6 in a scheme to become more competitive but they kept all of the lousy managers. In certain job codes you can be promoted to senior management in less than 5 years when starting out as a paycode 1, resulting in the continuance of bad management.
