Things like rims, lights, exhaust, suspension type parts. Well today I got an offer for a job at the local FORD dealership as a parts person. I will be making more $$ but do I really want to work for the enemy? Being a Chevy forum, what do you guys/gals think? Would you work at a FORD dealership for a little more money or say "screw it, Ford sucks" ?
One thing I have learned over the years is that EVERYONE makes their junk, even Chevy had a few. I love my Olds 98, GMC S15, an I love my F150 too. basically I dont like Ford cars but their trucks seem pretty good. It certainly has treated me right for over 10years with only 1 battery and 2 starters for repairs.

What I think you really need to ask yourself is if you may be unhappy in this new job because its Ford and whether you will use your Ford prejudice to put it to the customers. (give wrong parts, bad mouth Ford...) If either question is yes then keep the job you have before you give yourself a bad rep and find employment difficult thereafter. Beleive it or not these shops do talk to each other and if Joe gets a bad rep at one he will have a hard time getting hired by another.

Just my 2cents since your are alrady working for the enemy, but hey, at least its BMW and not ricers...LOL
