TOYO TIRES

The good thing is that you get a paycheck, 401K matches dollar for dollar up to 6%, start with 2 weeks paid vacation, and your job is pretty much guaranteed to be secure if you want it, because this place can not keep current employees or manage to retain new hires. Those are pretty much the only positives. The culture is complete toxic. Everyone is negative and unhappy from management on down. Everyone has a rude and hostile attitude about just showing up to do their job if you need help. There is never any consequences to other "team" members not performing their duties and dumping them off onto you. You're guaranteed to get forced to work multiple times in a week due to this places poor management running off most of the people who used to work there. Breaks are very short, management does not care that you spend most of your break time just trying to walk to a bathroom or break room because that place is huge. It can take up to 10 minutes to get to the main break room. Two of your breaks are 15 minutes. Management knows this, doesn't care. In fact, there is a very long list of problems that management knows about and is unwilling, or too incompetent, to do anything about. This place is terrible for your home and family life. You will spend most of your time away from family and the time you do get with them will be poor quality because you will be exhausted and negative from dealing with everyone's attitude and from all the disruptive forced overtime. I could honestly write a whole book just about all the problems with that place and it's complete mis-management. Everything listed here is just the tip of the iceberg. The pay is good, but unless you're just desperate for a decent paying job, avoid this place like it's covid 19, especially if you have a family. 

12 hour brutal shifts and brutal work. I'm ok with hard work, but this place will kill you, mainly because of their forced OT policy. I worked there 4 or 5 months before finding another job and I never met one single person that was content and didn't hate the place with a passion. The turnover was incredible, always hiring because they can't keep help.  The real problem is their ridiculous "point system" and the forced overtime. When I started, I was told by many;  "Prepare to have NO life!"  You are forced to work OT shifts and if you don't show, it's a point. So many points and you're out the door. So, you can schedule NOTHING in the future because you must keep your schedule open to possibly have to work forced OT and with so little help it is every single freaking week!
I've been gone a while now and I messaged a friend a while back and asked him how many on my shift and in my area was still there, and he said;  NO ONE. He would have left too but managed to get a promotion to another area with a semi-better job. The money is ok and they have pretty good benefits, but that's it. I would tell anyone and everyone reading this...stay far, FAR away from Toyo Tires. 

I was hired 6 months after the plant opened in 2006.  To be successful here, you need to have an unrelenting drive to deliver an excellent product.  No sugar coating here; I've seen so many people either quit or get fired, because they wanted an easy paycheck or didn't meet up to the high standards.  Will you be on night shift starting out? Yes.  You'll most likely be on nights for at least a year or more.  Based on my observations from over a decade of being with the company, making it this far requires awareness of the bigger picture.  Meaning that you need to respect that what you produce will go on someone's vehicle and that anything less than excellence is unacceptable.  Apply only if you feel you can stay focused on that specific idea over the long term.  That's the one variable that makes the difference between an operator that will enjoy what he/she does vs. one that hates their job and will inevitably quit or be fired.  After 11 years of working with Toyo, I still enjoy it.

this company is gone down hill, employees(floor workers)are treated like prisoners short breaks,poor environment, everything is your fault even if you get hurt, they will do what they can to blame you and fire you.
mixing ,curing,and final are the worst jobs in the plant the temperature reach over 100 degrees and the supervisors keep pushing breaks on you to the point that its harassment.they do not fallow osha at all in the heat.
the machines are trash the money spent that could have fixed them went to metal detectors  and turn styles,in the name of safety. the only safety it is for is the safety of production. the office people are against the floor workers  there is no more open door policy.
the first 2 weeks of treating you good should have been a sign of how you are about to get screwed. 
this company is blackballing employees from getting new jobs 
so you cant better yourself and your family .
they brag how the made a billion dollars then jack up the insurance

Toyo Tire can be a formidable place for employment if there was implementation of relevant systems (MRP/EDI Emulator, etc.)

All scheduling processes are 100% manual.  Due to lack of system to review inventory, physical counts of all product must be completed weekly, which can cause errors.  Due to low-grade EDI process, customer requirements must be manually reviewed with no proper reporting system.to ease the process.

Due to excessive absenteeism, there is little availability to reduce or eliminate weekend production, including Sunday.

However, most management personnel want to improve the culture and improve the environment for all associates.  Focus groups, associate lunches, monthly meetings have opened communication and revealed the priority issues that need to be addressed.

Haven't been there long so I can only guess it use to be a good place to work but like most things in life it has went down the tubes. Lots of deceit, empty promises, and anything takes an act of Congress to get approved or changed. They promise the moon and stars and deliver the BS. Pay is what keeps people around but people who have been there and topped out haven't seen a raise in their pay in several years. Did a little bit of accounting myself and found out it doesn't matter how long a person has been there, 7-8 years, 11 yrs or since the joint opened, you only stand to go out about $7.00 more than when you first came through the front doors.  This all says to me they aren't about any long term employees so, I'm planning on getting out after a few years. If you have a plan like this and know your enemy, you can get by here and make some decent money for about 4-5 years. After that it's curtains.

A typical day at work was really busy, I contacted customers to confirm orders, answer emails, process shipping documents, and maintain regular stock. Arrange shipments from purchase orders for Warehouse inventory: Instructions to warehouse agent and arrange containers.
I learned many things for example how to work better under pressure, to pay stronger attention to details, to manage time effectively and prioritizes completing tasks to meet deadlines and many other essential elements that are needed in order to maintain a successful company.
The hardest part of this job was probably to not letting stress or the pressure of needing to finish something affect my work, but thanks to that now I find it easy to work under pressure.
The most enjoyable part of the job was it was a very positive work environment and and everyone there was really friendly and helpful.

Typical day at Toyo: Its same as any other manufacturing facility. You work then take a scheduled break then come back and then repeat twice more.

What I learned: I have learned how to enhance my attention to detail to locate different anomalies that are potential hazards.

Management and Workplace Culture: Management is actually knowledgeable of the tire making process. It is nice to be able to clarify something with management and they actually have the knowledge due to experience working the same position as I am.

Hardest Part: Standing in one spot the entire shift 

Most Enjoyable part: Besides the paychecks, I would say the people who work there.   

I worked in the mixing department. It’s dark and dirty, the hours can be long and drag. In mixing you got two fifteen minute breaks and one twenty minute lunch. However it could take you 5 minutes to just walk to the break room depending on your mixer and you’re timed for it as soon as your break guy gets to your machine. Management does not care about you or any issues you’re having, they care about your machine running and your production. On top of all that you won’t have any time during your 12 hour shift to have your phone to check on family or anything because the closest phone approved area will take the entirety of your break to even get to. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was working through a temp service and I was receiving administrative assistant. The job itself i liked after I got used to it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Learning the job itself. It was tedious but it had to be right. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Didn't have time to mingle but it seemed everyone was always uptight most the time. Really didn't have any gatherings or anything like that.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Routine basically. Which was the best part of it.
