Start-ups were usually good which made a good productive day.
I learned how to use different types of calipers measuring microns,how to check the hardness of metal,and to operate and adjust CNC machines, also the different types of cutting tools used to cut metal.
Management was happy as long as production was being made.
Co-worker wanted to come to – more... work and finish their job or production and get paid.
Hardest part of the job was diffcult people and when a machine was down for maintenance.
Very enjoyable when production was accomplished in record time and everyone was happy. – less

Was not for me so I took a buyout to change career paths.............................................................

The day begins with team meetings to address safety or work related issues. I was able to advance within the hourly ranks with my leadership qualities and also picked up wire welding. I mostly enjoyed the diversity throughout the plant and the unity among the co-workers.

Can't wait to come back! Have many of the job skills because of Ford.

Fast and good alot about production great management team most co workers very caring about there jobs Taking an early retirement Agood days pay for a good days work

Working at Ford Motor Company was a very physically demanding job. The pay made it worth while.

The work enviroment and culture of Ford Motor Company is one of integrity and prestige. My typical day encompassed numerous interactions with peers, management, and prospective clients all of whom were exceptional not only and their jobs but also exceptional human beings.

Making and try-out of automotive dies,plus any engineering changes

I had a variety of jobs there, so it was stressful. I pulled orders, delivered orders, did shipping and recieving, and warranty clerk. Everyday consisted of making sure you pulled orders and were ready for shipping everyday. Once a week you recieve a truck to replenish or stock up the warehouse. You stock anything and everything that you can think of – more... on a vehicle so you can stock or pull hoods, doors, quarter panels etc. and that stuff arrives on the truck and you have to remove it, check it off the list that you recieved and and stock it in its correct locations in a numerical order so that you can find it when you need to pull it for a customer. The most enjoyable part to the day was going home. – less

Overall rating a 3, the compensation was good, got paid on a weekly basis, but after the layoff they dropped their pay, and it took about 4 years before you got medical benefits. The culture was good, I really liked the people their, you'll find your own group to fit in with because its soo many people, but it can be stressful on a relationship though. – more... Job security and advancement i think was the worst, I did not see any job advancement for anyone, and we were constantly laid off due to production. It seemed like management and your union rep were the same person, so take that how you want to. Depending on your shift and if there was forced overtime then your work/life balance would be fine, just in case, have some support if you have kids. – less

Jobs there are very fun. There are researcher, engineering and so on.

People there are friendly.

Culture there are good. People always have food together.

Management there are good.

We worked in an environment installing VOIP into Ford offices. We spent most of our time prepping for the cut over days, by evaluating the sites needs, readying our configuration, ordering the Cisco equipment, setting up Cisco Call manager, coordinating with the on site personnel and telecommunications carriers to make sure that all of the work on the – more... cut days went smoothly. – less

Commission jobs are a different animal. Get as much done as you can without hurrying so much that you have to do it again for free. I enjoyed the challenges, but I was not enough of a gear head to make it a living for life.

The automotive finance company, Ford Motor Credit Company (FMCC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (automaker). The training and experience that I received at FMCC was detailed, well-executed, and comprehensive. Ford, as a whole, invests a lot in their employees and makes sure they are knowledgeable and prepared. I learned a great deal – more... professionally and, personally.

The most valuable lesson I learned at Ford is about how to do business, what loyalty means, and that no one person can or should define a company. A company is defined by the dedication and commitment of subordinates at every level; as well as, its commitment to every employee of every level. Company culture, organization, and care are critical to its identity. Ford makes impressive efforts to communicate and keep its employees current on what is going on with the Company, before that rest of the world knows. I respect and appreciate that.

Ford has been honorable during these tough times. During the worst of it, when the status of many companies held in the balance, Ford took no glee in its competitor's misery. Ford was mindful of how fragile finances can be; no matter the size of a company or of each individual, Ford remains honorable. I was reminded that honor is always greater than pride, and loyalty follows naturally.

I bring all that I learned from Ford about honor, pride, loyalty, and integrity to everything I have done since, and will do in the future.

Business is personal. – less

It is a running assmebly line. Here is where the Ford Explorer, Explorer Limited, Lincoln MKS, Taurus, Taurus Sho, and the Police Interceptor are made.

Enjoyable part of the job is learning new and different skills.

This job required that you do the same thing over and over again.

Monitor manpower and schedule production lines in order of priorities. Pay union employees and survey and shedule for all overtime requirements. Resolve all line issues to mainain productivity standards.

You know there is a problem if you cant even ask the Lead technician a question .Don't get me started on flagging hours at a group in the fast lube department its a joke .
