Pros

Okay pay rate, okay food

Cons

If I could give negative stars, I would. I was given an occurrence due to the company not receiving my call-off voicemail. My personal phone records say I was on the phone for 18 seconds, which was MORE than enough time to leave a message. My husband, who worked there with me, witnessed me leave said message. CFNA did not care one bit because their phone system is "never wrong," and they couldn't give me the benefit of the doubt. My own supervisor wouldn't even fight for me in this regard. When I asked if I could use my personal emergency time to go home due to being upset, I was told no because "I was needed on the floor." There was no high call volume and the company couldn't take the hit of having one employee go home 5 hours early, UNPAID.

Pros

Very nice building downtown Nashville with a huge gym, nice cafeteria with sushi, good health insurance. It looks good to have Bridgestone on your resume

Cons

Well, firestone building products does get your foot in the door, but it’s not where anyone wants to stay. And it is very hard to transfer to another department, a.k.a. The tire side. While some of my colleagues were able to do that, they were interviewing with other departments for up two years until something opened up for them. In short, FSBP is run by rich boomers with a mom-and-pop mentality. And just like any huge corporate America company, you are just a number, easily replaceable. That’s how I was treated. And HR in FSBP clearly has the employer’s side, so don’t waste your time. My department head was a woman that loves micromanaging and fear-based leadership. If you like being micromanaged and brown nosing, then you might enjoy it here. Otherwise it’s not worth having the name on your resume. Trust me.
