Pros

My team and the two leads we had were amazing and supportive and did what they could to help me grow/learn

Cons

Disappointed in my manager. I wasn’t made of aware of any opportunities to improve my work performance until 5 months into my employment, and instead of taking the time to help me grow my manager chose to put me on a PIP, in my experience those are always the last option to be utilized when all other support has failed. I wasn’t offered any feedback or support until the day before he decided to put me on a PIP. Then one week later after I was told I had improved and was doing a good job by my lead, the manager threatened me and stated “I need someone to check references and since you are the worst recruiter it has to be you or we will have to rethink your employment here” this is unacceptable from an HR manager and if you choose to work here then that is the HR manager you will be working with.

Ford Audio-Video Systems Response

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.

Ford Audio-Video Systems Response

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!
