Bridgestone Americas reviews

When real, actual problems arise, they fall on deaf ears and are disregarded as temporary issues without strategy investment. Hiring pool is weak, will hire anybody without any experience which will ultimately be your downfall. No real world training programs in place anymore. I was never trained to do my job, anybody new who was hired was not allowed to take the internal hands on training courses. They just sit you in front of a computer for mindless e-learning. Many locations operating in violation of state code and law, many locations leaning on salary abuse of time to limp through low employment. The bonus programs in place has been slowly chipped away at, making bonus almost impossible to achieve, although the programs can be very lucrative. They bank on you not hitting the numbers. Prior management errors will directly affect your bonus program. One bonus program is structured on operating costs and they have the authority to make purchases expensed to your location which has and will erode your bonus payments, etc etc

Pay is less than industry standards for Job functions and responsibilities. Corporate America at it’s worst. Constant battle of expectations being greater than the support required to achieve them. Management above store level aloof, inaccessible and duplicitous. Multiple instances where bonus structures were unable to be explained. An endless series of checklists with no meaningful effect.
