      I have been working at Toyota North America full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      I've worked for Toyota for 13+ years and absolutely LOVE it, which is why I'm moving to Texas with them. So many opportunities are offered and flexibility has never been as issue for me, even as a single parent - awesome company.

      Cons

      None, other than hard work is expected from each associate. You might not always like who you work for, but getting the job done, as a team, makes it all worth while.

      Advice to Management

      Flexibility, understanding of each associates situation and keep taking care of us as we'll take care of YOU

      I have been working at Toyota North America full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Good-hearted intelligent people. Sincere attention towards stakeholders and the impact our decisions will have on them. Incredible work-life balance that is frankly unheard of among my colleagues at other companies. Outstanding (and REAL) commitment to community through donations, volunteer events etc.

      If you are strategic about your future and willing to network effectively, you can put yourself on the path to promotion.

      Cons

      The consensus culture is good and it's bad. It can slow down projects and sometimes too much time is spent in strategizing/conceptualizing as opposed to DOING something. There are many "lifers" who are clearly too comfortable in their job and don't have a lot of drive to execute. Working on projects with such people can be a drag.

      Nothing is handed to you - if you simply expect to be promoted because you have experience you will be disappointed. This is a very large organization within which there are high-, low-, no- and negative-growth areas. You need to put yourself into position to be promoted. If you need to move departments, you need to network or you will languish.

      Advice to Management

      Be more willing to take risk. Not all decisions require the involvement of so many people, much less all of their input and consensus.

      I have been working at Toyota North America full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Toyota prioritizes its employees, treating everyone with respect. Work/life balance is encouraged. But when the clock is on, the expectation is that your work is concise and error free. Little room for mistakes (yes, in the end I think this is a PRO- while others may think it is a con) as it keeps expectations high, and others are held to the same standard- so work is efficient. With the company going through a transitional time with the move to Plano, there is much opportunity to grow and develop your skill sets across the company. Senior Management is extremely knowledgeable and open to helping the new generation of employees grow and learn more about the automotive industry. Highly recommend this company. I moved all the way from sunny LA to Dallas for this job and the career potential. So far, no regrets.

      Also, the new campus in Plano is incredible. State of the art- everything!

      Cons

      Sometimes the job can get cushy. Not everyone is motivated to grow so you run into complacency. Attractive to some, but uninspiring at times.

      Advice to Management

      Continue to prioritize attracting top talent in the Dallas market.

      Pros

      Greatest experience one could ask for in management, associates and environment. The best thing about the company are the people that you work with. The company looks after its people as well.

      Cons

      Relocation to Plano, Texas, although a wonderful opportunity for the company, since it's out of California. Personally, wasn't able to relocate due to personal concerns. Potential changes with the relocation may affect how the company is run and how it treats it people, so there's that cloud hanging over the associates. But Toyota has always looked out for its people so let's hope that trend continues.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you've always done and not change with the relocation. The greatest company to work for, so don't mess with success!
