Good Brand, Low Motivation
Good Brand, Low Motivation
Size of company is very good; everybody knows "FORD" and it is a major employer on everyone's CV. If you happen to like the vehicles and products, you are in a favorable situation.
Most of the permanent employees here in Brentwood have spent all their lives at Ford, therefore they don't know other company cultures or any other products. Motivation is pretty much down, especially due to the unexpected downturn of some vehicle development programs because of the credit crisis.
Having seen other vehicle OEMs, I can say morale was the worst at Ford.
Working in an office where almost everyone is a middle-aged male worker doesn't help improve office culture either. Other manufacturers have a more diverse workforce.
It is not acceptable that senior management has not received proper and recent training in people management. Obviously, management is not chosen by soft skills either.
