Ford Motor Company Employer Reviews

If you find the right Ford Dealership to work for, it can be a really great experience. Great product, training and compensation.

I worked on an assembly line and as a machine operator. Also, I repaired sterring pumps.

I could not ask for better management. Great people and incredibly smart.

I feel beng a contract employee limits my ability to grown in my particular position and also limits the amount of real responsibility I'm given.

I've enjoyed working here at Ford Motor Company. I started as a temporary employee and have worked my way up to a Quality Leader. I am very active in my union and my company allows me to go on union business activities.

My day starts off by making sure all of the operations that I am responsible for are covered with trained manpower. I then prepare – more... my attendance sheet and confimation worksheet. During the balance of the shift, I make sure that I am available to management and my co-workers if needed. I give my co-workers breaks so that there night will be comfortable for them as well.

I have a good working relationship with both management and my co-workers. They are very comfortable sharing and confiding in me because they know that nothing parts from my lips.

My job is most difficult when I have a major breakdown with my equipment because, for the most part, I have to find someone to babysit the machinery until it is repaired during the upcoming break.

My job is most enjoyable when my co-workers that I am responsible for are having a good day. So on occasion, I will reward them by preparing dishes for them and we will have lunch together like a family.

I would work for this company again in a heartbeat if it were located in Arizona. – less

The day is a 10 hr day, which begins at 5am. I learned how to reset the machines that I am assigned to if the fault out. My supervisor is the greatest he meets and greets also stands firm on safety. My co-workers and fun and knowledgeable. There is really no hard part except for lifting. The most enjoyable is my ability to learn and understand the process – more... and working in a team enviroment as well as rotating to learn all the jobs in my department. – less

You are expected to work at a relatively fast pace. Communication is a key factor in team success.

Typical Corporate job - learned a lot of skills - takes the time to thoroughly train employees - good work environment - enjoy working with all of the employees and managers

Tough place to work. 10 and a half hour shifts. Lots of overtime. Management just cares about numbers not you unless you're a favorite. Some co-workers are all that keeps you going sometimes. constant repetition every 38 seconds. No real enjoyable parts of the job.

Good setting to grow
Worked hard, played hard
No tension but lot of work accomplished
Diverse people

I stood at a machine for 8 hours where I stamped and racked parts.
I learned that piece work is tough if, you don't develope a system that works for you.
I think second level management was great!
Do to the nature of the job, my co workers were up tight.
The hardest part of the job was dealing with do the exact same thing for 8 hours.
The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was; it paid weekly at $22.00/hour. – less

I received a great deal of advancement. Opportunities were available. Good pay, good benefits. Paid vacations accrued over time.

a changing work environment. The handing of production and quality floor concerns to the union members. Management lacks the knowledge of needs to train new team leaders and often expects those with the abilities to accept more responsilities. A Good Ole Boy network still exists.

The ability to work, coach and council those assigned to you, passing – more... on past Best Practices. Time management oftenbecmes a premium. By learning to treat people like you want to be treated, helps to build a team base work place and improves Diveersity. – less

You are very conscious of the importance of quality. Management, co-workers and customer expect quality in your work. It is a reflection of Ford Motor Company and the people that work for Ford. We are competing in a global market and our product must be world class to survive in this business.

Responsible for diagnosing and repairing different make and models of automobiles.
Hard part old poorly maintained cars.
Best part the car is repaired and runs like a top.

Wore many hats in the IT arena, but mainly on the mainframe side. Twenty five years of Cobol, Rexx, JCL, Xerox, MarkIV and the like, along with hardware and DEC experience. Very many friends over the years. A few bumps as they go, but a great experience overall.
A great people company to work for.

I would start my day cold calling customers, and setting up appointments for potential customer. I learned how to sale customers on our products, and how to become a well rounded business person. Management was valuable in me maturing as a business person. My co-workers helped me become a student of business. The hardest part of my job was cold calling – more... customers. The most enjoyable part of my job was making a sell. – less
