Pros

There are a lot of opportunities to expand you knowledge to different areas of the business. Work/life balance is the best of any company I have worked for. The benefits used to be top notch, but have been reduced in recent years. Still better than most other companies.

Cons

Poor senior management communication. Ford needs to change with the times and it is business as usual from decades past. The constant turmoil of the automotive industry puts a lot of strain on the employees.

Pros

Employees passionate for the auto business. There is a new focus on accountability in the Company with and honest recognition that the old ways of doing business will not win the war. The Company appears to be less wed to the historical Ford legacy which is slower to evolve and address the changing industry. Over time, Ford will become less of a family legacy business, to a results driven business that doesn't mute strong leadership and drives differentiation from the competitors. Product design is starting to take a stronger role in the Company, but still a long way from being an industry leader.

Cons

Too much "Detroit think". Difficult to attract up and coming mid level talent during a time when the industry is in such turmoil.

Pros

Only thing left is the heath care and that too is slowly getting worse.

Cons

Well we be here in 4 years? Health care slowly being taken away. retirement may not be pssable in just a few years. Management has begun taking out there anger on the hourly work force. Talking between the hourly work force and mangement has stopped. Ideas that might save money or the company are not taken to the upper management or are changed to make them seem like bad ideas. Cost cutting programs are started even when it costs more money then the old way. Safty at some buildings for hour work force has been ignored. Some managements ideas on safty are simple as this statement "We might if the problem if some one get hurt."
