Goodyear Employer Reviews

Repaired tires that were identifed by the inspectors as having defects. Scrapped the ones that could not be repaired.

Enjoyed working for this company. management was easy to communicate with, fun environment overall

clean shakers slurry pits painting keeping hvac units washed out and clean help slove problems as they came alone also was a lead hand making sure every ones time was put in and their pay was right filling out pay shortages

Started work on either 8 or 12 hr shift and went about my day, all that mattered was safety, quality and production. I learned how to manage my time effectively. The hardest part of the job was staying motivated when production happened to get low and management would decide to throw the other important factors (Safety, Quality) out the window. The – more... most enjotable part was working in my own space at my own pace, and being able to help and recieve help from co-workers when needed. I also enjoyed attempting to help devise safter ways to do certain aspects or the job. I don't feel that all management on the floor was bad, but feel they were pressured ito poor decisions from higher ups. – less

Make sure machine is operating properly. Have skids ready for rubber slabs to fall on. Cut pices of rubber off slabs to send to lab...

A typical day started at 6:00am and was chaotic from the start. After spending time planning PM's/TPM's for the next day and having parts and labor assigned to the tasks all was usually changed or delayed in the morning with needs left over from the night shift or production demands and even changed for what we called "flavor of the day."
The hardest – more... part of the job was getting commitment from production to the PM/TPM programs. I had to shuffle the days plan and schedule which caused in wasted labor and labor issues as overtime would only be available for certain hours.
I did learn to work as a manager in an union environment. Also gained experience with large equipment and doing large jobs with the use of a crane and contract labor. – less

As an automotive technician, I diagnosed and repaired cars and trucks, and maintained a clean work environment. The daytime hours were great for family life, but the flat rate pay compensation was not enough to support my family.

I am a temporary contract employee. I work for a Goodyear Engineer. He is a great boss. I enjoy the work, however, I was aware when accepting the position that it was only temporary. Once the work was complete the contract would end.

Typical days/nights at Goodyear were basically the same. I knew what I had to do every day. From this job I have learned how to hone my ability to multitask. The management left a lot to be desired, they seemed to be more concerned with themselves than their employees. I learned more each day from my co-workers although some were less patient than others. – more... The hardest part about the job was the physical demand but it was an honest days work. – less

not very good. I had a hard time a Goodyear having an eight year old son and pregnant wife it was very trying to mix my life with their schedule. my days off always changed and i worked on weekends. Missed out on alot of quality family time as well.

Throw tires off 10 lines and sorted them on carts to be sent to warehouse

The company encourages associates to move to different role every 2 or 3 years to learn more about the company.

Goodyear was a very hard working business every day brought new challenges to the table. I learned how to properly perform oil changes,tire repairs and I received my General Service certification also. The management was unfair and disrespectful to the employees throughout the day. The hardest part of the job was upselling products to customers who – more... weren't satisfied with what was found wrong with their vehicle inpection. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was the moment I started the day. I have a passion for cars so my job was always a perfect environment for me. – less

My days varied with the amount of vehicles scheduled and the type of work required which I really like.
I learned team work sure makes the day go quicker.
Management was good to me.
Not having enough work scheduled and that makes the day seem to go longer and slower.
Working with a good crew.
