try the best to hire high quality people when decide to do out source

Pros

Brainless work, okay money for a student.

Cons

Pros

Given the right job, working a Ford is a good experience. Projects are very interesting with chance to travel overseas Europe and Asia. Most people are interesting and easy to get along with.

Cons

Very big company and easy to get lost in the shuffle. It is also a bit cliquey and hard to figgure out some days.

Advice to Senior Management

Automotive is not an easy business to be in these days. I think any decision is tough as the future of the company depends on the choices management is making today.

Pros

For having just a highschool education, I was paid $14.21 at the start.

Cons

It's assembly line work, you know what you get into. Nothing unexpectly bad about working here.

Advice to Senior Management

Get rid of the UAW and keep the pay $18+ per hour like how it was before Ford almost went backrupt. The Union is sucking up all the pay and American motor companies are all suffering from their political motives.

Pros

Job flexibility and opportunity to excel.

Cons

Too many meetings and not enough time to get your workload completed within normal business hours.

Advice to Senior Management

Promote more GSR type employees!

Pros

Ford Motor Company is big, i.e. on Fortune 500 list. It seemed to be a good place to work in.

Cons

I didn't like the UAW. Just think about that. The officers working for UAW, where do their pay/benefit come from? It used to be a good deed, but not any more. UAW will sink whatever company they grab.

Advice to Senior Management

The turn around rate is significant with Ford Motor Company. It is leadership's responsibility to retain competitive employees. I don't see anything done with this regard.

Pros

The people I work with are great. For the most part everyone is very helpful.The dealership is nicely kept and the vehicles are high quality.

Cons

The pay is awful, the hours are too long and if youre new, you get treated like crap. It can be stressful and boring, mainly boring.

Advice to Senior Management

People need money to survive and if theres no business coming in, help your employees put food on the table...not take trips to hawaii or australia. Just saying.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance, when working in the US.
Interact with intelligent people and you can learn much

Cons

Very beaurocratic and there are many layers of approval
People overlapping responsibilities

Advice to Senior Management

The below comments pertain to the globalization efforts in Asia Pacific:
1. Local management needs to improve communication to team members
2. Management to reduce micromanagment style and increase awareness of process and how to tear down barriers to help working-level become more efficient

Pros

what I can think of about ford motor is reasonable salary and pretty good environment. flexible timing and a lof of other free choices.

Cons

Sometimes you will feel boring because we have a lot of meetings and all kind of schedules. That's almost a waste of time.

Advice to Senior Management

I don't have anything to say. Although ford is not perfect, it's better than a lof of other companies and it's improving.
