Pros

Some product lines doing very well despite poor quality (Range Rover Sport, Range Rover). Strong cult following, though most of those people would never buy new.

Cons

This company is in shambles. From the way they service customers to the way they care for employees. Extremely frugal leadership team puts profits above all else. Most employees work hard to do the right thing and they are met with constant bureaucratic processes - sent on chases for data or information that is impossible to capture with the antiquated systems. The company's intelligence is contained in Excel spreadsheets or Google documents. Promotions (opportunities come about very seldomly) are rigged, raises/bonuses are stingy, and politics drives everything. Seems to be a place where mediocre talent, both leaders and employees, come to die. Instead of motivating subordinates managers simply try to indoctrinate them into the stagnant work environment. Global CEO is always painting a picture of doom and gloom in every mass email. The Global office in England has a large amount of egomaniacs, spewing their opinions as if it's the truth, most of whom have never even stepped foot in a dealer in North America. There is no strategy - product, sales or marketing - no one has a clear and articulate message for the future except "Sell more cars."

Pros

Some great people and superb products make it a fast paced place to work. Growth has come despite the best efforts are archaic processes and methods

Cons

Purchasing processes are all legacy ford. No empowerment of employees. Hierarchy rules and everybody escalates everything tiger the decision they want. Obsession of programmes to drive everything as urgent means that in fact nothin is urgent. Buyers are overrun with transaction dross that leaves next to no time for quality strategy development and implementation Gaydon and Whitley sites are totally over capacity. Traffic parking and office accommodation is all completely unacceptable for a 35000 people £20bn luxury brand company.

Pros

successful company growing very fast

Cons

not a real great care for employees. A lot of theory on what to do for the people, make them grow, etc, but very little practice in the positives
