Cons

I think there is always room for improvement, but Bridgestone is actively trying to become the best.

Cons

Where to begin....
First of HR is useless and a waste of time they will always back the management and uphold their behavior no matter how cruel and insensitive.
Procurement has so many problems I don't know which is worse the clear favoritism, political games, lies, backstabbing or just plain disregard for company rules. Favoritism is rampant there are clear "golden children" who are promoted frequently without waiting the full year for a promotion. They hire people who are friends with their friends even if more qualified people interview (internally & externally). I applied internally and was interviewed and the job position was discussed in an open area with a co-worker regarding who they were offering the job to. Management wants to lock people into whatever position they are good at and leave no room for growth (which will be promised in the interview). They have extremely hard working people not being compensated for their work. My discontent was openly discussed with two levels of direct managers and no action was taken and internal applications were blocked by current manager lying to the prospective hiring managers and getting interviews that were arranged cancelled. The deceit and favoritism is what drove me to leave despite loving most of the people I worked with every day. They are also ruthless and not considerate of people struggling in their personal life with non-visible disabilities (which I could have choose to litigate if I had wanted),

Cons

Long hours, union environment. Oh and union.

Cons

I worked there doing mobile development with Xamarin. When I was hired they just had me start attending meetings for a new project, no direction other than that. Then they fired me for not doing my job which was a complete lie. HR was very interested when I told them I was given no work to do and I can only assume my manager lied to them to save her job. Some people are just dishonest.

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.

Cons

none that I can think of

Cons

Very demanding schedule requiring weekends and holidays. Potential to work 55 hours+ and 6-7 days a week occasionally.
