Pros

Compensation is decent. In one year, I received two raises: one for finishing my master's degree and one for the annual review.

Overall, there is a general sense of pride and optimism among employees in the company due to how well Ford has bounced back from the recession.

Cons

It's a little too political sometimes, but I guess it is everywhere.

The training program could use some work. There is still an old-Ford mentality that lingers, despite Mulally's One Ford plan to transform the culture. By old-Ford mentality, I mean arrogance and disrespect, but this is few and far between.

The compensation makes it worth it.

Advice to Management

Management needs to get rid of people who do not want to change to Mulally's Ford. It is a shame that there are people still there who do nothing and are pension-eligible, when Ford had to get rid of so many good people back in 2009. The negative attitude brings down others and sometimes makes it difficult to work.
