Pros
Overall, Ford still believes in it's people and to a certain extent, the extended ford "family". It tries it's best to put people's work first, offering good benefits, some tuition assistance programs, flexible schedules/work days (4 day/10 hour) despite economic hardship in the industry. Some of these programs have probably been axed due to budget cuts, but even despite it's size, the management is still family operated.
Cons
Unfortunately, the industry is just not a growing sector. The American automotive sector is on the decline, of which there are many reasons. The large bureaucracy/organizational structures created in the 50's stifles risk taking, creativity, and innovation. Also, the outdated concept of the UAW (Note: research non-unionized plants in the US owned by foreign competitors, BMW/Toyota, and how much more nimble they are to adapt, esp. to flexible manufacturing).
