Pluspunten

I learned a lot about how modern, network-integrated A/V systems work. The company paid for my training, and where there were shortcomings I was able to ask my colleagues when I had questions. The people you work with are the best resource you have at Ford. Field employees are a treasure, treat them with respect, admiration and appreciation.

Minpunten

I posted this review about 4 months after I started with Ford AV, in October of 2022. I was then contacted about the review, and deleted in fear that I would be fired (due to other reviews from employees in other states). After the fact, I was overworked/undersupported until I quit to join another AV integrator. "Every jobsite I have been on with Ford AV has been a scheduling and planning nightmare. Project managers are undertrained, and are encouraged to assign unattainable timeframes to unbelieaveable workloads. I get told I'm flying across 2 timezones for a week long job 36 hours in advance if I'm lucky. Even division management is scared of the CEO/President, they don't seem like they care until they're spending money instead of making it. Don't take salary over hourly if they offer it. They'll make you work plenty of overtime no matter what, you might as well get paid for it. I'm convinced they have such high engineer turnover because they send salaried Engineers-In-Training to jobs instead of hourly install techs to save a buck. At the end of the day, it's a job, and I'm glad to have had it. I traveled, I made Southwest and Wyndham points, and I moved on with my career.

Management was great and supportive. Gained a lot of useful experience here. The pay was decent and higher than the average customer care pay rate in OKC. CoWorkers were also supportive and great to be around.

Minpunten

Not really a lot of cons. Just need to be a social and productive person.
