Pros

There are a few nice people around… very few. Other than that there’s no other pros to working here.

Cons

- Salary is very low for the amount of work, overtime, and travel/commuting requirements, especially for employees holding an engineering degree. - Bad work-life balance due to travel and commuting to job sites. Sometimes you won’t know where your next job site is until the day before. - Install/construction training phase for engineers feels like a hazing process and provides little to no value for the office work that follows. - Company culture reeks of corporate greed. - Micromanagement of working hours despite being on salary. - Shady pay practices for salaried employees, and other restrictions that cannot be shared due to NDA/confidentiality. - Lack of growth opportunities within the company and within the industry. - Really subpar benefits - 401k, insurance, and PTO are far below other companies’ standards.

We make every effort to be fully transparent with travel and training expectations. I am sorry Ford AV was not a good fit for you. We understand that finding the perfect work fit is important. While our company culture may not be a match for everyone, we're fortunate to have a loyal team – one-third of our employees have been with us for over a decade!
