FordDirect Reviews

Pros

Fast paced, dynamic environment focused on Ford

Cons

Hyper-competitive ecosystem means contract employees always have an uncertain future

Pros

Easy going and good location

Cons

Very slow paced at times

Pros

Benefits, flexible schedule, competitive salaries, advancement opportunity

Cons

Lacking a discernible direction at times. Too many changes in leadership over the last few years.

Pros

-Best coworkers ever! Really smart, witty, hardworking and they are all pulling together to do the right thing for Ford dealers and Ford. -Exceptional benefits. -Great work-life balance for “most” employees

Cons

There’s always a couple of people in every organization that put themselves first and are not working for the common good. Fortunately at FordDirect, those people are outnumbered by the positive people who are doing the right thing for dealers, consumers and Ford.

Pros

The CEO has brought credibility to FordDirect. New Product SVP and VP are great and know how to build and run a product team. Teams working well together. Still more to do but finally few last remaining legacy people have exited the building. They needed to go and were full of bad attitudes, low performance and entitlement back to where it was born.

Cons

Still a few more bad apples and field team needs help.

Pros

Benefits, location and some of the people

Cons

The HR department is the worst I have ever seen. They are supposed to be there for the employees but they are not. The whole department takes off every Friday, you go down there to talk to someone mid week and they are not there. You try to get answers via email and they don’t respond or when they do it’s your fault you haven’t connected with them.

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 people to work with and great benefits!

Cons

Corrupt leadership, nepotism and no vision and no direction for the future of the company!
