Bridgestone Americas Reviews

Pros

Global company Positive and optimistic culture throughout; leaders down through entry levels International opportunities Multiple Business Units Personal growth and career succession Cross functional engagement style; opportunities from Innovation areas, Product Design, Manufacturing, Distribution, Sales, Marketing, and Business functions Competitive Benefits, bonus structure and overall compensation

Cons

Recently Bridgestone moved corporate headquarters to Nashville bringing tires, retails, roofing, and diversified product businesses together. The re-location has impacted the experience levels across the business units. Cross business succession has been limited in these early stages. Individual develop planning and succession planning are available at Bridgestone; however continued focus and opportunities for improvement should be made available.

Great people throughout the company. Great Opportunity for growth if you are willing to move around some. Good pay. Yearly performance raise and bonus structure. Tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Very large company, so you have a lot of corporate protocols to deal with. Some positions are overloaded to the point thing get neglected.

Pros

Very nice building downtown Nashville with a huge gym, nice cafeteria with sushi, good health insurance. It looks good to have Bridgestone on your resume

Cons

Well, firestone building products does get your foot in the door, but it’s not where anyone wants to stay. And it is very hard to transfer to another department, a.k.a. The tire side. While some of my colleagues were able to do that, they were interviewing with other departments for up two years until something opened up for them. In short, FSBP is run by rich boomers with a mom-and-pop mentality. And just like any huge corporate America company, you are just a number, easily replaceable. That’s how I was treated. And HR in FSBP clearly has the employer’s side, so don’t waste your time. My department head was a woman that loves micromanaging and fear-based leadership. If you like being micromanaged and brown nosing, then you might enjoy it here. Otherwise it’s not worth having the name on your resume. Trust me.
