Pros

No particularly good reasons to work at Boeing Travel - specifically the old Travel Accounting portion. But Boeing as a whole has good benefits, though the education program, medical benefits and retirement programs are all facing significant cuts in the current economic climate.

Cons

-Favoritism - if you are not a management favorite expect crummy work assignments with no career growth -Management looking to accomplish their own goals at the employee's expense (i.e. no career development, no promotions, no raises, etc...) -Management lies to accomplish whatever goals they have set forth -Management does not respect or value their employees Travel Accounting is a study in contradictions...Management is incredibly self-serving, many come to Travel to wait out retirement and don't possess the skills necessary to lead their groups. As an organization, Travel is not respected. Travel employees are expected to be engaged and excited about the organization's goals when it is obvious that management cares nothing for their employees - professionally, personally or otherwise...Unless, of course you are a favorite which allows you to make your own work statement, set your own work hours, make mistakes with no repurcussions, etc... while still receiving a promotion. Going above and beyond is pointless in this group and is extremely de-motivating to those in the group who want to do more...as a result many younger employees are leaving or will in 2010.

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.
