What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Currently we have no incentive to be an outstanding employee. Our bonus program is not based on performance and promotions are few and far between. This makes me question why I should continue to go above & beyond if a colleague would reap the same benefits for doing the bare minimum.
Review from Marketing Dept
Doi not low ball to employees. If you want to keep your best talent, you must respect them and pay them well.
Review from IT Dept
While it is important in our current environment to be fast paced and agile, we have too many competing priorities which clouds our understanding of our organizations goals. This is not a new challenge for Bridgestone but it does seem to be worse at the moment.
Review from HR Dept
Following their code of conduct. They lie to their employees regarding compensation.
Review from Engineering Dept
Everything. Communication. Team building. Everything is negative
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Before Bridgestone I worked in an industry that underpaid me and it was the only industry I knew. When I interviewed at Bridgestone I lowballed myself b/c I didn't know what salaries were like in this industry. I often wonder if I am making a salary that is comparable to my colleagues.
Review from Marketing Dept
Duties expected go far beyond job description/market expectations for job title, level and compensation. Disadvantaged by the corporate rules of pay increase caps, lack of spot bonus clarity.
Review from Marketing Dept
I believe my experience level and skills I have brought to the company are deserving of a higher compensation tier.
Review from Marketing Dept
Being recognized for the role I perform in, rather than the role I'm titled in.
Review from HR Dept
Better compensation around time off & more competitive pay
Review from IT Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Lack of communication between associates and management
Being more aware of whats going on instead of being in autopilot for the entire shift
they are stuck in the old ways of doing things
Review from HR Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Management actually following code of conduct and enforcing it for themselves and HR.
Review from Engineering Dept
Management needs to be revamped. The culture is to oppress people and it should be the opposite
Actually valuing the people that are putting in the work not just the top tier management , But the tech that missed his little boys baseball game because he needed to make rent or Service Manager who's wife would like to see him more than an hour a day
Engage employees to be part of the solutions. Don't deploy programs that aren't tested and don't work as that wastes energy. Allow flexibility to improve things instead of making it hard for employees to do their jobs.
Management in-house and corporate level
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Have workers be involved woth the hiring we know whats required
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Work load and pressure. We are a very lean team and keep getting more work added but nothing is moved off the priority list
Review from HR Dept
Leadership is wrong and needs to be replaced with people who want to be successful in the right avenues
Leadership needs to integrate feedback from the stores. There is a major disconnect as senior leadership does not handle criticism at all. Middle managers are forced to absorb feedback but cannot share it with leaders. It's become a culture of fear and intimidation.
Must of store manager are very unhappy with the way Bridgestone is going, they have stated to me that Firestone was great years ago
Executive decision are killing the company
