Pros

Yes Bridgestone is a larger employer; however, they are going to pay ok wages (not great but not horrible); however, they will place you in a salary position and require you to work all hours (nights, weekends, holidays, etc)

Cons

Work environment is stressful and if you look at your wages based on all the hours you work it is probably below min wage. Management does not respect any input for employees.

Maternity/Paternity Leave

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

This employer meets the parameters of the Tennessee Maternity Leave Act, in that it must offer 16-weeks of unpaid maternity leave to women for the birth or adoption of a new child. 6- 8 weeks of paid leave is provided for mothers, depending on the type of birth and release by doctor to return to work. 1 week of leave is extended to fathers.

Cons

This employer doesn't have a published policy addressing maternity/paternity leave. Information provided to employees on the front-end is limited and lacking, and it isn't disclosed to women that once they return to work after the birth of a child, they wave the remaining balance of the 16-weeks of leave allowed in TN. It is up to a company's discretion as to allow the remaining unpaid time to be taken during the 12-month period. Essentially, the company chooses to not allow women to take the remaining unpaid leave as parental leave and thus punishes women who return to work early to support business needs or their family's financial situation.
