Pros
One of the best reasons for working at the Macon site is the customers we support. Our customers are the US Air Force and the US Army. We build sub-assemblies for the C-17, Apache, and Chinook. The satisfaction that our products are aiding the warfighters is one of the many points of pride with building the product. Other benefits for working at Boeing is simply the atmosphere. We are a non-union site and all levels of employees have equal say and input into matters that affect the effeciency of operations. Our compensation is on average above other occupations in the area as well.
Cons
There are very few downsides to working at the Macon Site. However, one of the main downsides is our delivery schedule. Our site consists of many high performing teams and are required to meet all expectations. This requirement at times can be very high. On performance metrics the average team steadily exceeds the standard. Performance on average runs around 175%. This is great for business but can take a toll on people. However, Boeing is taking great strides to improve ergonomics and reduce the fatigue caused by repetitive motion. The site has greatly improved on injuries resulting from repetitive motion in recent months.
