Suzuki Motor Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"in turmoil but may improve I n the long run"

What do you like about working at Suzuki Motor?

"I was with American SuzukI for 24 years and for most of that time it was a good place to work. But the last 5 years were not so good. There has been a major staff reduction and I am no longer with American Suzuki."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Hope for improvement. Much of the cuts were necessary as the company was overstaffed, but many cuts were made so new people could come in at lower pay rates and benefits. I expect it will be 3 years or more before the auto industry recovers and SuzukI tries another push into the US market."

What don't you like about working at Suzuki Motor?

"Six years ago, the company decided to make a big push into the U.S. auto market. The plan called for a 5 fold increase in sales in 5 years. It was not executed well. New department managers were brought in and most of the top managers who had been there for years retired."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There were steady increases in sales but the company was always in the red. Then the economy went bad and headquarters came in and did several rounds of layoffs. Many of the problems were caused by management introducing new procedures that increased cost. The staff is suffering because headquarters is pushing for cost reductions but managers will not change procedures. So they resort to lower paid staff to meet targets."
