Questionable.
Sales Executive (Former Employee) - Trowbridge - 13 August 2022
Not much to say. One person out of the whole building actually made me feel welcome whilst I was there. Dragged things out a lot and empty promises. Great money, no support to succeed however from management.

service advisor (Former Employee) - Bristol - 26 June 2022
Management don’t respect or understand you. No support through the struggles that you face. The job is stressful itself and it would have taken the pressure off a bit to have a good team of management behind you as you know you’ve got their support. However I spent most of my time in that workplace, no social life and they weren’t grateful for anything I did
Pros
Commission was good
Cons
Poor management, long hours, no social life

Disapointed
External Collaboration Engineer (Former Employee) - Essex, MD - 23 June 2022
Ford have always being known for being the inventors of the combustion engine. Ford management structure is now full of managers who sit on there hands, reaping the benefits of their collegues work, and waiting for their pensions. Ford are no longer the leaders in technology and innovation they are followers. The world has moved on and so have I to a much more diverse and inclusive company.
Pros
None
Cons
Management put stress on people to perform for their own benefits with no flow down to the workforce

Not for somebody who works to live
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Surrey - 15 September 2021
If you have a family do not consider this position. It is 6 days a week working and will make you work a Saturday and Sunday alternant weeks. HR will keep saying it’s 5 but the culture is run by out of date managers who like to sharpen their pencils and hide away on Zoom calls.
Pros
Good Pay for the industry
Cons
Insane hours which actually make it bad pay

Fun environment with a family feel
Service Manager (Current Employee) - Service Department - 25 February 2021
Having worked for the company for some years I can say that it really feels like a family. It's a busy vibrant place to work and we all pull together to get the job done the best we can. Management have always been great with me and have pushed me through the ranks having originally started as a van driver for the parts department. It shows there really is potential to grow at Fordthorne.
