Too many meetings leave no time to work. We meet to decide on the next meeting. It would also be nice to have some coworkers that last long
How's the work life balance at Goodyear?
Currículos de Melhores Profissionais
Not balanced well for retail/shop. Expected to work at the drop of a hat anytime when told. So bad that taking the "earned" vacations feels like you are doing something wrong or you will owe management for the favor of you getting off
Virtually non-existent! I was repeatedly told that if you didn’t work 6 days a week (at least) then you were not dedicated to Goodyear and that would be reflected during performance reviews.
Not good at all.

If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Goodyear?
Overall I think there is significant denial at all level of the organization, both union and management, regarding their performance compared to similar industry leaders. Sustainable change can be achieved but there is no silver bullet.

I would take better care of the employees
What do people at Goodyear think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Currículos de Melhores Profissionais
I don't know him. I do feel that he has no idea what goes on in retail and how the DMR and Team leaders in southeast bully team members into doing what they want
The CEO is focused on driving the company forward strategically which is appropriate. However, the time I have personally interacted with him I was concerned about his lack of authenticity and general ability to relate to people at all levels of the organization.
Don't know much about what people think or feel about him... It may be better on the corporate end, but not the retail end of things.

Testing, interviews, for some positions, and pure seniority for others.

Union plant we font get promotions

The office vibe is not progressive at all. Morale is low and workload is high as positions take a long time to fill. Turnover significantly exceeds industry standard given the excessive stressors of achieving the production requirements.

Hostile at times in retail

This varies by issue, location, and HR practitioner. Union relations also significantly impact the way issues are addresses for bargaining unit associates.
