BF GOODRICH

I left this job because I found the only reason I stayed was for a paycheck, and not a good one at that. The typical day consisted of learning that days constant policy changes which made working there an impossibility to keep up. This was not only a challenge for the employee in the department but for the mechanic or whoever was requiring assistance. 
     The environment was dirty. For the first several months my lungs hurt because of all of the carbon dust that drifted through the air. This dust then would settle all over causing everything to be covered in black in a matter of a day. 
     The over strenuous and unrealistic goals of the day also contributed to my departure. There consisted maintaining inventory, unloading trucks, receiving inventory, putting away inventory, helping employees order inventory; all at the same time.
    Overall, there are many more reasons why this company, specifically this position, is not recommended, but this short review should get the point across.

Felt I wasn’t given a real chance. They let ppl go about three days before probation period. Unless u have a relative that works there…I feel u r not given a chance and u r set up to make sure u fail. Especially when u r put in a position where u have never driven a fork truck in your life. There is a lot to learn in warehouse and I don’t think 200 hrs is enough time to train. Too much to learn in a short time and u r expected to get rate immediately. It should be a level 3 job bcuz it takes a lot of skill to work back in warehouse and to drive the fork trucks. Safety is another complaint I have. It’s not enforced enough. I enjoyed my work but the training requirements and amount of time is unrealistic for those who have never had fort truck experience. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being able to supply our customers in timely manner and working with the people.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes management not holding everyone accountable to what they're suppose to do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's Great, everyone get along for the most part and try to work as a team

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day for me is first staying focus and safe. Safety is first for me and  others also. Then i start to gather everything needed to start, taking out my tools, my measurements, checking off things on the computer that's needed at that time. Next doing my best to supply my in house customers what they need to complete their task. End of day complete computer check off, clean my area, leave my next co-worker set up and ready to go.

Good place to work if your single with no family. Pay and benefits are great but the swing shift will take 10 years off your life. All work inside the plant for wage workers is very stressful and hard on your body. Great chance of developing bodily injury from repetive motion and most machines are outdated and not safe. Management only cares about numbers and will ride you out the door if you dont choose quantity over quality. If you have kids prepare not to be in their life until you have vacation time saved up. The rotation they work is rated the highest in the aspect of bodily health and number one cause of heart related issues. If you can get past all that you will be ok. Unless they lie to get you fired. I have factual evidence they lie to get their way.

I always heard this was a good place to work. The pay is okay, the insurance is great, and thats about it. The rotating schedule is bad, you really have only one full weekend off per month, the equipment and machines are ancient and poorly maintained, and then there is management. The people supervising and coordinating the material flow are about as incompetent as I have seen. The place is constantly running out of components, people are unable to perform their jobs, and then they try and write you up or suspend you for work you cant actually perform. There are some supervisors there that I am convinced have one sole purpose-to destroy morale and harass anyone and everyone. This used to be a good place to work but now its just a below average sweatshop that treats their people like trash.

I started with the Quality group working as a TUO machine calibration specialist. I verified aspects of tire readings and made adjustments as needed. I liked the pay and my co-workers. I was promoted to the Tire Verification Dept. where I was reponsible for Over Inspection of a percentage of the tires before they were received into the warehouse. If I found defects I had to train the inspector on the CQ and record the results. I got to meet and work with a large number of people. But the downside was the rotating shifts and strenuous work. The last 2 years with the company I was promoted to Warehouse Supervisor and also served on the Safety Committee. I was put in charge of 1rst Shift. I enjoyed the opportunity. I miss working there.

I was a tire builder their for 4 years. Management constantly has no idea what they are talking about or any idea of the work you do. They literally watch a computer screen to make sure your doing your job. They make things way more complicated than what it’s needed to be. Management there sucks. Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Pay and benefits were great but you worked literally 6-7 days a week and you lived that place to make that kind of money. You work 12 hr shifts- 18 hr shifts and you sleep for 3-4 hrs and turn around and go back in and rotate shifts , swing shift once a wee. They do this they claim to give everyone else equal time off. But they really do this to see who wants it bad enough and to see if you are going to make it or not

Pay is good unless you are a tire builder. Tire builders pay scale consistently changes, mainly due to lack of good management.  It’s obvious there is a poor relationship between the company president and union president. Which is apparent in deciding pay scales for the tire builders. Other locations don’t have this same issue. Morale in the tire room specifically is low. Work life balance is nonexistent. Changing positions has nothing to with how hard you work or knowledge but rather who you know. Same thing with time off. Seniority determines who gets off or gets to leave early, therefore it’s the same people each time. Very difficult to pick your own vacation days due to seniority level.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work environment is great. The company actually cares about their employees by offering great incentives for our hard work and commitment to safety.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The work schedule. The swing shifts really take a toll on your health.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone there are very informative and helpful. It feels like a family environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I come in and already know by duties because the work assignments are clearly presented to you. There’s no one micromanaging you.

80% of the people come to work 10% of the people get paid to show up and the other 10% will make you want to leave every single day just like the leaders in my dept at least.  Your a union worker so you can't really get in trouble on the spot and you also can't hold fellow co-workers accountable for the dumb stuff they do, or even the unsafe stuff they do.  Not a bad job Not a great job... Could be a great job if leaders knew how to be leaders.... what do I know I only have 11 years of service in the Army w/o a bachelors degree..........
