Great pay and benefits. Professional staff and training.
Enjoyed working there just did not like the shift.

Moved around a lot and changed job titles...Store closed...Wasnt offered another position at another location

Some days were good,but some days were slow. The coworkers were all good people,helpful, and knowlegable.

good company , good co-workers,fast paced work environment, you have think on your feet , multitasking is a must

come in help who i can with what they are doing until its my turn to bring in a car and take lead. i learned how to balance tires better and more car parts. the co-workers are very funny. hardest part is trying to understand what the customer wants . most enjoyabale part is the people u meet .

Its a brotherhood. Even though I dont work for good year anynore my ex-coworkers and I ard still like brothers.

just like the title says they pay really well but don't know how to train managers.

Goodyear is a company that you can grow with and apply your knowledge over a vast array of opportunities within various internal divisions. It is a company that offers many on-the-job training and advancement opportunities. The job is demanding and challenging, and many assignments may require extensive travel. The best part of Goodyear is the "family" – more... type of environment that exists between coworkers and management. Decisions are made only after due diligence and actions are based on facts. Products are among the best offered in the industry and safety is never compromised over profits. It is a company that you will be proud to work for.

My last job was supervising a team of college grads who assisted dealers and mass merchandisers with sales and product training, consumer insights, merchandising, key sales driver execution, and promotional activity. My region consisted of the 15 western states, including Alaska and Hawaii. My 10 to 12 direct reports each called on an average of 110 accounts, in 7 different business categories. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing my field team grow into their jobs, having them provide value on each customer visit, and seeing them earn advancement within the company. About half my time was spent traveling to their headquarter cities and riding with them to visit their accounts. The balance of my time was spent managing the region expenses, collecting and reviewing call productivity, conducting mid-year and annual performance reviews and taking self-development courses. I also helped develop over 30 sales and product training seminars for field use. I have extensive background with Microsoft Office products, Photoshop and Lotus Notes 8.5 – less

A real good place to work, if you like working on cars and getting a little dirty.

Good place to work great benefits and pay Safety is a priority here. Working as a team is important .Hardest part would be some heavy lifting and working in the heat. Most enjoyable would be some of the people you work with. What I learned is to stick in there when the going gets rough. You can do thee job with right training.

traveled three states,delt with our franchise operations

A typical day at work I do general maintenance work and when requested I help the technicians diagnose a problem by offering my 14 years of experience and knowledge of automotives. The hardest part of my job is not being able to work to my ability and being limited to general maintenance work. The most enjoyable part of my job is simply conversing with – more... fellow co-workers. – less

High stress environment but good pay and benefits. Management is fairly easy to get along with and loved my co-workers!!! Downside is being around rubber smell caused headaches. Another downside is multiple duties spanning from two departments fell on one person (me) which caused stress. I overal learned how to multi-task in high stress, demanding environments.

Most often, no complaints, however, Goodyear occasionally talked about "selling" the facility which made the employees uneasy.

It is a job that I enjoy doing as I enjoy working on vehicles, however I feel that the compensation could be a lot better and there is no real job security and advancement/rewards aren't really thought much of.
I would like to be able to advance in my workplace and be rewarded for acheiving goals/education/certificates/etc.

Large Corporation.
Will be moving to new state of the art Headquarters in 2013.

The people who were your coworkers were very nice; but the management of this company is very aloof. This is a manufacturing company managed by accountants, who look for profits and stock value. The one positive thing is that they do make a good product. Compensation & benefits are good; but the culture is more of a production than an actuality. Once – more... you have served your purpose, you can be discarded without warning. I did enjoy my tenure at this company, but was not sad to end my employment there. I would recommend taking a very good hard look before deciding to work at Goodyear. Some years are good; but not all of them! – less

THE WORST COMPANY YOU COULD EVER WORK FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you read all the reviews, almost ALL are from FORMER employees. Why would you leave the best place ever? I know why. Terrible working conditions. (Unless you like working in a place that was built in the 1950's and stayed there.) Management style from the 1960's. PLUS, you get to work for – more... 10 plus hours for 8 hours pay. Oh and by the way we are going to need you to work on Saturday for free.................. – less
