What don't you like about working at Firestone?

"the sales pressure envirornment and lack of understanding that mistakes may happen that are out of the GM's control. Mistakes that are avoidbale are one thing, but general mgmt should not lose job security over simple mistakes. I would recommend upper mgmt to coach, mentor, advise or lead the manager to utilize preventative management techniques to avoid future mistakes, not release them."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Work with subordinates, not against. Business/operational/human resource related decisions should also benefit subordinates just as much as the company and management. Making changes that negatively impact lower level employees (that are just as vital to the company as mgmt) are not recommended."
