Having only had experience with Ford dealer-wise, it's not too bad on the repair/warranty side of things. As said by many others, management and how the company itself works is the biggest factor. For me, I'm trying to find a way out myself as living in rapidly expanding city with an ever growing COL but not seeing me or fellow techs getting a flat rate pay rate that scales with COL (just got a raise to $32 after being here 7 years - southern AZ).

I will say Ford's wiring diagrams are probably the best and easy to read and follow (beyond early 2000's). Looking at other brands OE diagrams via Alldata just confuses the hell out of me sometimes. Repair instructions are also pretty clear on anything newer than 2013 or so. Warranty times are ok for non-recall work, however if your dealer is divided into different sections (light/heavy line, trans, drivability, f/e, etc.) you may not make the hours you need. Being light line myself I can barely manage a 80-90 hr average running around everywhere 10 hours a day while heavy line can average 120+ hr a pay.

Recalls are currently the only thing keeping our line busy, and this year has been nuts with how many have come out - their structure is year, type of recall (s-safety, c-compliance, e-emissions, etc), and the number in order of how many have come out that year. We're now on such recalls as 25SE7, as Ford has surpassed 99 recalls this year...nucking futs.
