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

For context, I work on the defense side. The work is really fun and exciting with a lot of opportunities to grow. My team is close knit, supportive, and very passionate. Being a part of a union means paid overtime, which is really unusual for software.

Cons

Workload is insane. I often work weekends and have pulled 60-80 hour weeks many times. PTO is bare minimum. I have a lot of fun at work, but if I'm putting in startup-level effort, I should not be making well below market rate.
