YOKOHAMA TIRE

Yokohama use to be a great place to work, it has very good benefits and the pay is very good. But the main problem at Yokohama is the lack of good management. In the management field you have friends who are promoting friends, and family who have no or little experience in manufacturing. Even in human resource it’s a buddy buddy system. You may experience your manager being cousins or friends to Human Resource so if you have a problem with your mananger there’s nothing going to be done about it. I’ve seen people get fired all because the manager didn’t like them and they were family of the assistant Human Resource. I’ve witnessed people getting fired because Human Resource failed to allow them to use their PTO Days, I’ve witnessed supervisors saving certain people jobs when they point out but the ones they didn’t care much for they didn’t care if they kept their jobs or not and I know for a fact it was all done in Human Resource favor that’s why I don’t like working out there because of this type of behavior.. If Yokohama don’t stop that buddy system it is going to lose a lot of good people, and it will continue to have issues with scrap! Majority of the people who have become supervisor’s and team leaders all are affiliated with each other, either you’re from the same town, family, friends, part of the same fraternity or sorority and needless to say sleeping with someone..  Even Human Resource is tainted, hiring people who have not taken the manufacturing skills class nor work keys, when it was a requirement by the state of MS.  Human Resources is  very incompetent they have no business being in Human Resource.. I hate the fact that the Japanese isn’t aware of what’s going on, they are being manipulated.. it’s not Yokohama it’s the people whom Yokohama has trusted to run their company

We clock in before 7:00 and go to the designated area to begin our Japanese exercise called Taiso. Every employee must exercise. Then we listen to daily safety topics. After that we are informed about any safety issues and machine troubles. We get necessary paper work and daily run schedule. There is a lot of work to build a truck tire, it has to go through several different processes. Management challenges each production operator every day to give their best. They also support and respect each production operator. It is a very fast pace and demanding environment. You have to stay focused and it is hard trying to catch back up if one of the machines has a malfunction. I drive a forklift and am responsible for keeping six machines loaded with different rubber compounds and metal pallets. I also assist any other operator with problems they may encounter on their machine. The best part of the job is knowing I made a good quality product.

A typical work day With Yokohama one can expect to be greeted with a smile as we all embarked toward or individual tasks. An environment where to say team work was encouraged would be an understatement. with the support of a team we would operate heavy machinery all working towards a singular goal set before us. The team and the mission at hand were both supported by our managers and co-workers which only added to the peaceful habitat that resulted from it.This was not difficult to see once you arrived at the facility but we could certainly expect to spend the majority of our day there which would prove to be the most difficult aspect of employment here. They make sure to support you once you're there and provide all that you need to make the experience as stress free as possible which is certainly appreciated in such a facility.

Yokohama is a great job. It’s the management of Yokohoma that’s going to bring them down. The buddy system in Yokohama is strong. If you don’t walk and talk like the people over you, you are considered a threat. They don’t want your opinion on anything it’s only one way to do things and it’s their way! The management is also very bad with communication skills, they will change your shift ( no matter what you have going on) with out you knowing demand you to take in that shift. Management is also very rude, they don’t have great people skills and feel like they can talk to you any kind of way. Now HR (Human Resources) are put in place to help employees, but they are apart of that buddy system to so if a supervisor doesn’t like you they all link up to try to fire you. The whole job is a risk so take it how you want.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Competitive pay and benefits. Clean environment.  They provided a great path to learn and excel in PLC’s and automation. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lean manufacturing can sometimes be stressful. Its a fast paced environment with no room for error if you expect to achieve goals and hit targets. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is what I would expect from a world class company like Yokohama. They invest a lot into the maintenance technicians. They promote team building while also pushing for higher achievements. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very fast paced, but the entire team is in an upbeat rhythm.

This place could be great if managed properly. They have way to many people with titles walking around and don't know anything. The maintenance people are just as bad. You have a major breakdown every single day. Management thinks they can treat people any kind of way and disrespect them. Some people there are pretty good, but the majority are just jealous and hateful. I've never seen anything like this place in all my years working. They brought in people from up north to run it and they are straight trash. They treat their good workers like trash. They promote the sorry ones and the ones they can sleep with. HR doesn't protect the employees at all. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Yokohama is working as a team.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is the unfair treatment to some of the employees. They will promote unfairly and pay unfairly and the pay is no good for people who have worked there over 8 years.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is harassment from some of the supervisor and threats of retaliation. There is too much favoritism on the floor.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is work as usual. I wish the would stick to one work schedule I'm tired of the swi g shift especially the 12 hour nights.

Facility is the first plant built internally from scratch and it shows. There are too many poor decisions being made and the individuals who have the knowledge for what needs done gets ignored. Corperate employees controls too much of the plant, leaving individuals like the Plant Engineering Manager and Maintenance Manager in positions where they have no actual power. Corporate needs to allow the plant management to have more control, the absolute biggest issue is coming from high in the management chain.

This company was an absolute pleasure to work for. The team members of Customer Service were amazing. The management  was amazing. The only problem that was encountered on this job was a lack of support from the supervisor.  Because we were in a satelite office there was no way to communicate when there was a problem in this office. A typical day consisted of multitasking between the telephone and e-mails. You began your day answering phone calls from dealers/national accounts (vendors) regarding a variety of things like: credit, incorrect billing, delivery receipts, locations of dealers, year to date reports, corrections etc...
