FIRESTONE Employer Reviews

Handling customers then co workers issues with one another. Most enjoyable part of the job was making a customer a loyal client. Most hardest part of the job was the lack of communication between all the co workers.

Deal with customers. Keep quotas. Long days. Lots of programs so you can move up in the company.

Firestone is a good company to work for but being paid flag rate is horrible. You can work open to close but if you dont work on one vehicle the whole day, no pay.

working outdoors good hours clean kitchen great location worked unsupervised

Some of the employees helped tremendously. And they seemed friendly.

repair cars, i worked hard everyday, but still couldnt move up,i got every training spot for new cars every time it came up

Customers are shocked at how noncompetitive the prices are at Firestone, as well as the lack of price matching when I worked there. Management on the district level was atrocious. Unfriendly workplace, technicians are very offensive and rude to management and customers. The only rewarding aspect of this job was making sure that someone's vehicle was – more... safe to drive on the road. – less

Unfortunately my management staff was very unhelpful. As a new mechanic, I received zero guidance since day 1. They encouraged you to find other problems with vehicles to make more money for yourself and the company. I left because I felt it was unethical.

Working on people cars but not a dependable and steady income.

manager did not step up overall not a bad, place call you in with no advance notice

I was a little more advanced for my position however this is an awesome place to start and grow,

this was the only company that i ever worked for where i got along with regional and national staff who would see you and genuinely say hello and ask about your family unfortunately people get sick and retire then come the hot dogs you can spend an 8 hour car ride and 25 minutes later they forget who you are what have you done for me lately

Typical day at work includes courtesy check on all vehicles that come in. Perform simple routine maintenance on rare occasions. Enjoyable part of this job is working next to co-workers.

Very well put together company. Most knoledgeable manager in firestone. Personal openion.

This company gave me my start in the automotive industry. Great management and great training. They are willing to invest time in their employees to help them advance themselves.

Avoid working for any Firestone. You will have no time for family, friends or anything outside of Firestone. Works hours are terrible (they will NOT tell you directly when you interview). Typical work week: 50 hrs minimum (for technicians). Sales associates work a normal 40 hr work week with no overtime because overtime has to be approved by district – more... manager. Sales associates will be written up for not selling a set number of services, usually $20,000-40,000 per month. This is a scare tactic to get sales associates "in line" with Firestones "promise to care" ideal. Sales associates are usually promised all kinds of bonus' and advancement opportunities with no follow through by manager or district staff. The bottom line is you can work sweeping floors and have way less headaches and make the same amount of money.... – less

worked from 7am to 5pm/w the occasional overtime. 1 hour lunch and 2 15min breaks. off on the weekends. picture a tire shop that was for anything from tractors to 8 wheeled tail cranes and other farm and construction vehicles as well as normal sized cars and trucks. we would change or repair the tires and balance the rims before replacing them.

Working 11:00 am to 6:00 e
I really enjoyed working with the co-workers

It was a nice place to work, management was ok but now they have new and improved management which means much better service all around.

working for firestone cannot be classified as work. Its like a big family where everyone is willing to help you and teach you as much as possible. Working here i have not felt unneeded, nor did i feel as if moving forward was impossible.
