Pros of working at Ford Motor

Good steady pay every week. nice easy hourly. jobs that you can access when you have more than 20yrs of working the assembly lines, great pay and benefits and bonuses

Cons of working at Ford Motor

You have to have really thick skin and you can’t be easily shaken by management or even other hourly workers, first starting out your going to be put on the worst job on the line until you put your years in then you can bid or apply for other positions within the plant that are not attached to the assembly line, working the lines for at least 15 yrs before you might be able to find another position off line

Ford Motor benefits

Full pension, health care benefits, hourly pay for employees who are legacy employees, extremely generous bonuses, if you have enough seniority there’s very rewarding job opportunities that will get you off the lines

Working with people. I am an electrician by trade, but have been working on the UAW-Ford safety team as a Health and Safety Representative for 13 years. I love doing what I do, but I do miss working on the Electrical crew.

As a huge corporation Ford Motor Company has been great to work for. However, I feel that there could be better employer-employee relations. We have to work together to get where we need to be.
