What suggestions do you have for management?

"Better stocking, more focus on helping the little guys out."

"Overall the company is moving in the right direction from a stockholder and investor view. That said, the company still has a lot of legacy systems and politics. This makes it difficult to clearly identify roles and responsibilities and thus impacts decision making. The mid level managers seem to change frequently which also adds to confusion - the same opportunities for lateral movement sometimes does not appear be available for everyone (this appears to be to keep knowledge in a group since managers change so frequently). This is not always beneficial and can sometimes hurt morale because some individuals want to change roles and feel they are stuck making decisions that should be a manager's responsibility without the authority, or proper compensation, to make such decisions."

"after only three days of training, you are on your own."

"I worked at Goodyear for 39+ years. They used to care for their employees when I first started. But foreign competitive pressures have created such a tremendous pressure to cut costs that translates into everyone working long hours, long days, long weeks, and long months. With no appreciation, no reward, and no thanks. Corporate managers are taking all the available money from the company in salary and perks while the workers are getting the crumbs that are left over."

"I worked for Goodyear for almost 10 years. The pay is great. The biggest problem is honestly in management when comes to training. Time and time again people are released to jobs before training is complete. These same unqualified people are being held accountable to goals that have yet to reach and if not, the supervisor held accountable to their poor performance. This is a toxic environment where blame is being pushed to the wrong people."

"Horrible, completely horrible."

"Do not choose Goodyear manufacturing."
