Pros
The pay and benefits, even though they are shinking, are still the best around. Ford also provides a great opportunity to work in a diverse work environment. The concept of working as a team is also stressed to the the continuous build process. If the first person does the job wrong, the next will have problems.
Cons
Some of the downsides are that performance has little effect on the way you are viewed and advanced. Senority is key. The work on the body is strenuous and wears it down. Employees are also given too many opportunities to keep their jobs. The company and union need to work together to keep the strongest work force, not just a high number of employees.
