Ford Motor – “Ford poised for a turn-around, can they hold on long enough to make it happen?”
Pros
It's a volatile time in the auto industry and one who starts with and can ride out the storm would definitely be set for greater and faster opportunities for advancement.
Cons
Again, the volatility means everyone's job is in jeopardy and is a source of great stress for everyone. The moral with the company right now is low, although there are some signs of a light at the end of the tunnel with marginal success in the way forward plan Ford introduced in 2007.
