Ford Motor reviews

To me, in the 32 and a half year's that I worked there, I couldn't have had any better factory job anywhere, period.

There are no cons whatsoever in my experience when I worked at Ford. I worked all my year's at Ford as an hourly worker.

My favorite perk is our medical benefits. We have excellent benefits. I retired at age 52, and now at age 75, our benefits keep getting better. Everything we are thankful for from Ford Motor Company is because of our strong UAW Union. If not for our Union, we wouldn't have half of what we have today.

What I like best is Company and Union contracts and negotiations.

Keep doing what they are doing and for sure, stay Union strong.

I hired in at Ford Motor Company in 1968. Back then it was simple, you just filled out an application and told them you need a job and you want to work at whatever job they have open.

Ford has always paid good wages.

Making good wages, great benefits, and paying 100% of my son's 7 year college education at Ohio State University, rent, food, books, and him graduating with a Master's Degree and him with 0 debt.

I'm so glad to hear you're passionate about automotive engineering! My advice to you: keep your grades up, get involved in student projects like Formula SAE, and pursue internships to get some real world experience. These are all things I did when I was a student that helped me get my foot in the door at Ford.

Pay, Large Bonuses around tax time and some holidays, Some Paid holidays off

No AC in summer months, lack of professionalism from management, lack of passion for the product in employees, Hostile work environment

Bonuses and paid time off, Union protection

When a manager messes up bad enough they move them.

AC, managers should have to be able to do my job in order to force me to do it or make any additions to it. Seniority needs to be respected more. Replace current area managers. More space between jobs. Less cars per day. No forced overtime

7 hr written test and hand eye coordination test.

starts at around 25 an hr top out at 35 I believe in 3 years which means you wont make more than 35 an hr with benefits for health, school, dental, certain car purchases.

There are not many black or brown managers all white men.

When I get to go home, or the line breaks so I get paid to sit and watch someone else fix it.

Culture is very supportive. Everyone is eager to share their knowledge and help develop each other professionally. As individuals and as a company they want to make a quality product for their customer.

The benefits of the culture come at a cost of bureaucracy and decision-making is general consensus-driven. Although the company is actively trying to become more even, antiquated rank structures keep people in a hierarchy that can be frustrating when you want to make a difference with your career.

The nature of the product is complex and keeps both the business and engineering divisions close to one another, keeping communication frequent and open. The company also emphasizes flexibility, work-from-home options, and a maternity program that has kept experts within the company that would have otherwise left.

That's a very thoughtful question -- and you completely nailed the need for my role! Over the 100+ years of Ford, we have developed very robust processes and specifications to guide our designs. The big part of our jobs is integrating what could be competing needs, like you mentioned. We run many cross-functional design reviews to ensure we strike the best balance for our customers.

Very good pay and benefits

The chemicals will work in every day

Our insurance is some of the best in the world when you can get the things that we get for the prices we pay it's absolutely fantastic

Great benefits and pay.

Work very hard, labor intensive, if your in the production floor. Alot of lazy people that dont like to work, But then there is a some that really do like to work. But over great benefits

Health insurance and Salary

More come to work mentally and work ethic

Applying online.

They take there job seriously for the most part

Very well, more then the average

Very good and strong diversity

A very well earned paycheck at the end of the week working a 4 day schedule .

Work life balance is good. Less work pressure.

Healthcare benefits, employee discounts, paid time-off

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

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

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

Variety of clients and the work that we do with the clients. My team and management are super supportive. The availability of learning and training opportunities.

Things that can stand improvement include that I have to work alot of long and sometimes the deadline to get assignments accomplished are to short.

Company offers generous amount of time off and reimbursement perks for non-work related expenses.

The mechanics are awesome giving me opportunities to work for them, I get paid weekly and have a free gym and keeps me busy

Management is horrible, he leans towards the lazier workers and gives them better opportunities the Service advisors take forever to write the cars up and they complain we’re too slow

The weekly pay

About earning and support my family

Nup

I feel this is like a opportunity for me

No comparison to any other company. They are the fool proof way. You see the first few weeks what it is to know what it's like to finally stop looking for just another job. It's differently and definitely the top and only company that can back up their company beliefs worthy of grand opportunity and valuable most of all. They are the American dream

I don't like that I can't find anything I don't like. So it is good and true. It seems that's something I'm not familiar with. No ball to drop. No shoe to drop. Mad respect.

Real upheld core belief in the Ford brand, the employees life long ready and willingness to make life happen

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.

Health care is so important to my family so this benefit is the most important to me. However, my favorite perk is the pricing on vehicles.

My salary and people

work life balance is not balanced

overtime, and rotating of the shifts

It’s a job, and I love the people I work with.

I’m not much of a people person, and dealing with people is all I do for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. It’s exhausting.

Flexibility with appointments, and they really encourage taking care of your mental health

security, engineering focus, competent coworkers, interesting work

red tape, distracted management

health insurance

work life balance

immediate boss

4 weeks vacation plus 17 holidays plus 10 days personal and sick days

The work life balance is non existent

Meeting great people/ colleagues

Great people, Ford cares for employees and families.

The type of work ethic that used to help us to have better results.

The mindset about the future, for example, the build of solar cars.

The creativity, the fellowship, trying new things.

Safe, fair company to be employed with. Great company with great benefits. Love ford motor - just looking at retirement and a part time job to occupy some time.

my co-workers and the working conditions

the fear of layoffs

I enjoyed the people, benefits, pay, the most

I most disliked mandatory overtime. It made schedules and planning difficult.

My biggest need and desire was good health insurance for me and my family

I love the atmosphere and how laid back it is.

That I only work 4 days a week.

Healthcare, 401k, and bonuses.

They give you breaks

People i work with use excuses to get threw there day

Lunch time

Wonderful people, great opportunities

Desk Job, can get redundant

The surrounding area provides ample after work things to do

being able to inspect government vehicles before delivery. Meeting important people whom work high up for the city of Jax such as Jso jea Jax fire and rescue

They only thing I didn’t really care for was working in the rain

My favorite perk of working at ford helped me with my organization skills such as organizing the parking lot and keeping a list steady for the many companies we used to complete aftermarket request.

nice working environment and people within Company, manage and handle business globally.

none.

vacation.

Opportunity to advanced technology

retirement plan

the people ; effort to evolve; work-life balance

workspace/building changes too frequently

Retirement savings

She answered that elsewhere. Good grades, SAE teams and related projects. Then look at a Ford internship.

I grew up in Youngstown and I went to Ohio State for college. As far as high school courses, I definitely took the highest level math I could as well as physics, chemistry, etc. I also did speech team (similar to debate) and I think it's great for anyone pursuing a professional career to have that experience.
