only thing i didnt like was being laid off. i like feeling important to all departments in witch i spent any time at all.

Great place to work if you're single and have little desire for advancement.

testing materials and how they were used in the industry. Management was fair, co workers were ok. The jobs were really easy, the enjoyable part of the job was knowing that my efforts were used to make products that every day people used on a daily bases.

Not having enough family time. Most enjoyable part was the checks.

Bridgestone is a great company to start with.Because they specialize
in almost everything auto it allowed me to grow and learn alot.Unlike the dealerships you have to be on your toes because bridgestone services almost all make and models.Different situations with customers and problem solving are a day to day norm. Unfortunately
the long 11-12 hour – more... days wear on you. Along with no weekends ever? If the pay was better I believe the benefits and job would be
excellent. – less

I loved this job, i was there for 7 years i worked alot of hours we rotated shifts really not alot of time for family but it paid the bills. There were some management issues alot of favortism and racisim but i was there to make money and take care of my family. Hardest part of the job was working 16hr shifts and getting drafted to come in early or – more... stay over late or both. Co workers were cool people some had thier ways but you learn todeal with all types. I enjoyed working together as a team to be the best crew. This plant was good because they looked out for thier own awarded us when it was time and some days were bad because of injuries from throwing heavy tires and burning yourself or dealing with chemicals. All in all i enjoyed my experience there we worked hard and i love to work hard. – less

A balanced work place with some benefits. The people were helpful.

Work with good people willing to help. Had a balanced work and life schedule.

The culture among this plant is top notch. Everyone is very friendly and easy to get along with. This makes for a great working atmosphere.
The processes and methods of doing things at Bridgestone has molded me into a profesional. They have a great managers that teach others and are very personable.

The day at Bridgestone starts off slow, but within a hour it picks up. Within the 12 hours shift, you learn a lot of different kinds of things.

I have worked for Bridgestone/Firestone for over a year, it's a good job , but not a career.

Co-workers are enjoyable and work is rewarding and fast paced.

I love the employees I manage, but the hours I put in are long.
