Goodyear Reviews

Pros

Pay Benefits Culture Room for growth Hybrid

Cons

Not any I can think of at the moment

Pros

Pros? There are no pros, this is a poorly run organization. I’d say the pro is that they make the government look efficient.

Cons

This company is so poorly run it is no surprise that Goodyear was doing 24B in sales in 2012 and was down to about half right before covid. Rich Kramer had infected this company all the way to the core. Every aspect of the business is poorly run. Sales, marketing, pricing, product, Hr, benefits, the list goes on. I can’t find a single positive thing that this company does right. Their motto is “protect our good name.” They are so stuck in the past that they are ruining the future. Elliott investments (go to accelerating get.com) was right about their viewpoint on Goodyear and as a 10% shareholder of this company I hope they listen and fire the entire executive team and start fresh, with policies and processes that allows the company to flourish, not flounder in its horrible state. Kramers gotta go.

Pros

Legacy company with stability and not stressful

Cons

Slow pace can be boring at times. Slow promo cycle as well.

Pros

Good salary and good benefits.

Cons

Terrible management (the plant manger doesn't know anything about management) high turn over, very bad environment and low safety standard.

Pros

Base pay is decent/ok. HQ has a lot of amenities. pretty easy to not accomplish things and "fly under the radar"

Cons

no strategy in innovation; leadership is detached and aloof (this is known and has been for years on the annual employee survey, but they aren't doing anything to change). as an employee, don't break down walls - too many directors and above are protected by walls that also prohibit innovation and driving positive change. matrix organization is disastrous for supporting innovation, but harbors an overall lack of achieving goals (instead, just move the goal posts) most employees are not bonus eligible. annual pay increases are weak (saying it nicely). no LTIP unless you're at a certain level. for most of the employees, increases in pay only comes via promotion, which are hard to come by.

Pros

Management was great and very helpful whenever needed

Cons

Training could be better with new hires

Pros

Great culture, diversity , benefits and location

Cons

there are no downsides to the job

Pros

Quick money with complete paid training. Employees become family.

Cons

Work becomes your life and does not end.

Pros

Plant has been in operation since the 70s. So I feel like it is job security.

Cons

Company does not reward leaders. Pay is not appropriate with the times we live in.

Pros

The people at Goodyear are a real pleasure to work with.

Cons

Recent reductions in head count have lead to the rest of the employees being overworked. More top performers are leaving on their own as a result.
