Pros

They pay is okay for an A and P mechanic-not great however. The benefits are great as far as medical, dental etc.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement since there is an oppressive union structure there which is based only on seniority. Management are made up of a bunch of petty, incompetent, spineless cowards. Your fellow workers are all lazy union employees who will get on your case if you "work too hard". You will attend meaningless meeting after meaningless meeting for things like "employee involvement" which basically are brainstorming sessions to see how much more of Boeing's money we can squander in pursuit of nothing helpful. The company itself regularly lays people off at the drop of a hat. What you end up with is either a lay off or strike on the horizon at any given point.

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.
