Pros

Firestone has a lot of great people working there. Profitability goals are set high but when reached, the bonuses are great, up to 30-35% of salary.

Cons

Like most large companies there are a lot of people doing the bare minimum to get by. This is a smaller division to the larger Tire company. So, we tend to churn through presidents at a high pace. Firestone Building Products is a necessary stop on their way up at the tire company. This leads to a lot of reorganizing, as well as internal and external confusion. Each president wants to put their stamp on the organization but they do it before realizing it is a totally different animal than the tire company. It definitely has an affect on morale.

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
