Pros

Excellent challenges as Ford has recovered from the last downturn. Many new hires and new assignments. Decent pay and benefits. You get to focus on a few vehicles and the plants building them. The new CEO is great, and the company is striving to keep abreast of all the latest technologies. The general atmosphere is optimistic.

Cons

Sometimes long travel times working out at plant sites during new product launches can be challenging. Work-life balance can get tricky.

Most growth is overseas, not in the US.

Advice to Management

Simplify some of your products so they are less complex to build. Sometimes too much choice is not worth it.
