Great benefits overshadowed by a toxic culture

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and some coworkers are amazing

Cons

HR has way too much influence over the organization. The culture within my tenure of five years took a nose dive and it became a toxic place to work. The performance system was weaponized against good staff. Before leaving it was clear all of the top performers were leaving for jobs at companies with healthier cultures. The accounting department is a toxic clicky environment full of staff without degrees. It was very sad to see such a prior good company go down hill and become very toxic.

Pros

At FordDirect, it's always the people we work with that makes this place great.

Cons

Over the years, I've seen forddirect change from a company that does the right thing by its employees to one that does whatever it takes to make a few extra dollars. Cutting long standing benefits in 2025 like tuition reimbursement along with their live well work well initiative is just the most recent of the slashed benefits.
