Vantaggi
Pay and compensation are probably better than most other companies would pay me based on my level of education. Honestly, to think that I'm 10 years from retirement...but only 2 years away from a six-figure salary...and I have NO degree. A few college classes and 10 years in the military. Simply Amazing. I'm not micro-managed, and have to work HARD to put in an 8-hour day. Most of the people who I manage are egg-headed engineering types...and my background is hourly...most of them have at least a bachelor's degree...and I'm their boss. Nowhere but Boeing could I find this. Life's good
Svantaggi
For me personally, it's the commute. Boeing has plants/offices/sites spread as far as 50 miles apart in Seatte-land, and I've ended up having 40 miles between my home and my office.; Sure, I could move....but how long before I might be transfered to a different site. Pay is great, hours are great, no one works so hard that they're going to die (at least not if you're smart enough to figure out that you don't have to kill yourself)....Pretty tough for me to find 100 words to describe a downside that I really don't see.....but, I do have llittle to compare with. Boeing's been my only job since the military.
