Toyota North America Reviews

Pros

Toyota offers their employees competitive salaries, a great benefits package, and tons of onsite amenities meant to encourage a healthy work/life balance, fitness, etc. Most importantly, when they say that respect for people is a core pillar of the Toyota Way, they mean that. I've been with this company my whole career (started as an intern and was hired on full time almost 5 years ago), and have no plans to leave any time soon. I'd recommend Toyota to any family member or friend.

Advice to Management

Advice to Management

Work on developing diverse team members. Help those that want to grow. Take the time to listen to diverse view points that could help change the way the company operates.

Pros

Great Benefits and good pay.

Pros

-You can't beat the benefits: tons of amenities at the HQ campus, health benefits are the best I've ever seen/experienced, car lease/discount program, etc.
-Depending on your role/manager there is an abundance of work/life balance (WFH when needed, rarity to have long hours, lots of colleague support)
-The company truly does have a long-term vision which creates a lot of job security/stability - no layoffs, always thinking of the next iteration of the company (from loom company, to automotive company, to mobility company)
-The Toyota Way and other processes developed by the company are world-class and it's a great place to learn
-If you're willing to network, volunteer and get involved in things outside of your day job you can make some life-long connections. If you decide to stay at Toyota, there are lots opportunities (you just have to wait for them to open up, which is why network, etc. is so crucial) to learn new things and move around to different groups
-If you're willing to work hard and take on new challenges (which is sometimes volunteering for new projects) you can gain some great exposure to leaders in the organization and grow your career
-Opportunities for contingent/contractors to convert to FTE, if desired (I did it)

Advice to Management

-Remove barriers for lower-level employees to get their work done and don't be the cause of things slowing down
-Over-communicate - more information is always better than less/nothing

Pros

Pay and Benefits, Advancement opportunities

Pros

Worked for great manager and helpful and friendly co-workers. Was able to learn more and enhance my design skills and be part of a collaborative team.

Pros

Strong benefits, respect for people is a priority.

Pros

There's a lot to like about Toyota. Everyone I worked with was extremely dedicated and would strive to achieve goals, admittedly at personal expense(poor work-life balance). Work was interesting and challenging. I traveled to California, Japan, and Arizona on test trips. Given your willingness to put in the overtime, you can have a rewarding career there if you find ways to balance the overtime/stress you will endure while working there.

Advice to Management

Have genuine communication with your team members to understand exactly what they are feeling and thinking. It would avoid a lot of miscommunication and turnover which of course is "muda" that you want to avoid.

Pros

Good work life, good hours good pay.

Advice to Management

Some. Screwing around.
