Goodyear Employer Reviews

The days were 8 hours with the possibility of 4 to 8 hours of overtime. The work was very physical and I learned how to cure tires and finish tires for shipping and sales. The management was adequate and somewhat handcuffed by the union. My co-workers were great and helpful. The hardest part of the job was the physical nature of the job and the many – more...  hours that I worked. The most enjoyable part is the feeling of a job well done. – less

It was hot and noisy with alot of good people to work with. A typical day at work meant working hard with little else to focus on. Learned how to build tires and had the opprotunity to see other parts of the production process. Management were descent people to work for. My co-workers were great people, really enjoyed them. Hardest part of the job was – more...  making production numbers. Most enjoyable part of the job knowing that quality products were produced locally. – less

I enjoyed the work, and the management, and the people I worked with.

I have learned how to maintain control in an environment that talks change, but continues to perform daily as a nineteenth century business. I have had to develop tough skin working in an union environment with little support from upper management. I believe it has developed into a well rounded leader who can remove his feelings and emotions from managing

help the purchasing manager on a daily bases with various assignments - from calling vendors to setting up spreadsheets and faxing out PO's

Only Worked At Good Year For A Year,But Learned A Lot About
Alignments And Tires.

Great place to work with great people, could be a little more organized with customers and appointments though.

Worked with warehouse distibutors selling OEM products to end users and retail shops. Daily cold calling and also seeting up of product on site. Managed a mulit million dollar territory as well.

Creating daily, weekly and monthly waste reports
Analyze data and procedures to reduce amount produced
Thermal-couple testing of tires
Assist in curing, compounding and mixing departments
Analyze temperature data to reduce cure times

Brutal hours, low pay, and loss of hours during the off seasons make this a tough job to sell. Some good things to learn here, but long term its a difficult place to work

Bad working conditions especially summertime. Rotating 12 hour shifts not good for anybody. Management leave a lot to be desired.

Responsible for the preventive maintenance of vehicles:
• Oil changes, tire replacement and repair
• Brake replacement, filter replacement and 4 wheel alignment
• Assist in stores sales when needed
• Maintain a safe and clean work environment

I was a tire builder for 2 years and then a development technician for app 10. Then shipping supervisor for 2 years. I would probably still be there. Company downsized and I was laid off. I enjoyed my job vry much. Every single day was different

A typical day at work starts with a safety meeting, followed by a visit, an area manager who complains about everything but does nothing to correct it, spends more time riding around on this bike then doing his job.

not to bad a place does not pay very good. but the people are great to work with

This job was hard but you made good money and there was always room too grow.

Typical week was a day in the office and four days on the road. Primary responsibilities were to accounts and the portfolio of products manufactured by Goodyear. the most enjoyable part of this job was meeting with customers, developing relationships and driving product to the end user.

operate machines,maintenance,im a people person so i work well with others.management was good people who work way up with in co.hardest part all the overtime i had to work.the money was great,and challenging work was enjoyable.

Mgmt believes in passing the buck. Do not expect any major career advancement unless you are someone's child with multiple generations of relatives that have work in the organization. Work/Life Balance is poor IMO.

* pretty busy, but organized
* I learned how a shop works.
* Hardest part of the job was trying to not bust my knuckles.
* I really enjoyed the people I worked with.
