Pros

-The benefits are amazing - Great health & dental plans with no premiums, absolutely any education you want for free, and even with the pension gone for non-union, it' still 3% automatic 401K contribution + Up to 6% worth of matching, so total of 9% of salary! (11% if you're nearing retirement) -For me I'm a sucker for making cool product, so being able to say I buy stuff that goes in airplanes, and go wander into the factory whenever I want is cool

Cons

-The 787 delays screws everyone up, cuts everyones budgets, and for PAs, make contracting more stressful -Constant reorganization creates a lot of confusion as to what people's roles are, leading people to start big turf wars over their newly laid turf.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
