Pros

Benefits, flexible schedule, good people on the Manager/Director level

Cons

FordDirect used to be full of talented and experienced people in the Tier 1 and Tier 3 space. Unfortunately they have all be run out of the company. Dianne, if you really want to know what's going on, go back and look at an old org chart and see who is left from the "old" management team. You will only find two names....... they have pushed their own agenda over the years telling the story that the others weren't experienced enough or didn't have the vision and got all those people removed from FD. Now take a look at the company financials and product road map. Where did all the profit go and what has successfully launched as a new product since all those people were forced out? Nothing....... failure after failure (you can't count the website relaunch as a new product). Those former executives were all very well respected by the employees and people worked their butts off for them and they are still respected in the industry because of what they accomplished at FordDirect. You wonder why everyone is running for the doors? It's because the current team that was brought in to replace them has not accomplished anything and people don't trust them.

Pros

Great benefits and some coworkers are amazing

Cons

HR has way too much influence over the organization. The culture within my tenure of five years took a nose dive and it became a toxic place to work. The performance system was weaponized against good staff. Before leaving it was clear all of the top performers were leaving for jobs at companies with healthier cultures. The accounting department is a toxic clicky environment full of staff without degrees. It was very sad to see such a prior good company go down hill and become very toxic.
