Pros

Vehicle discounts, good benefits, decent compensation package, challenging work environment, opportunities for advancement exist for those willing to play the game

Cons

No respect for work/life balance, although overtime is paid for some salaried employees, it is typical to put in for 20 hours of overtime during a pay period and have an area manager arbitrarily decide you will be paid for less than half of them. The company owns you. I have known people whose vacations to Europe were cancelled at the last second because they were suddenly needed to fill in for a manager's pet employee. My area manager used to throw his two-way radio at people and berate supervisors in front their employees.

Pros

You get to say you work at Ford Motor Company

Cons

The only way they'll view you as a longterm investment is if they got you young right out of school- as an FCG or from CCS. They reward backstabbing and gossiping in the name of "survival of the fittest." They enable and encourage people like this to rot the company from the inside out. The people who are rewarded are those who can best cater to the emotionally unstable people in positions of leadership. They can't even lead- they either micromanage, or are passive aggressive in hopes that you can eventually read their minds. Neither is productive. Micromanaging wears away at anyone's agency and confidence. And passive aggressiveness doesn't move projects forward nor provide clarity. Take the time and energy you spend gossiping about the lost employee, and just communicate to them directly. That would yield faster results, and reduces stress for everyone involved in the long run. I don't understand managers who will gossip to anyone and everyone about you, but then claim they don't have time to talk to you directly and resolve issues.
