Poor place to work

Pros

the salary and bonus structure were very generous for employees- they have changed this, although probably still the best bonus structure around

Cons

very poorly managed, top down focused, "insider" environment. if you don't have a supporter in your management team (very high up) you won't make it.

Pros

Average salary for the area (Wilson, NC)

Cons

No concern for life-work balance. Incompetent engineering/maintenance management. Upper level management easily threatened by employees who either have superior credentials, abilities, skills or support from the production floor employees and managers. The management will fabricate and/or bend the truth to satisfy their personal agendas. There have been multiple times when the engineering/maintenance management has used the plant's safety rules/regulations to advance their personal agendas to terminate employees that they either were intimidated by, threatened by, or concerned that they knew information that would/could lead to their own dismissal. These same managers have knowingly and willfully violated those same safety rules to include LOTO to again advance their own personal agendas.

Pros

It's a paycheck but not much else.

Cons

Employees are treated poorly by all levels of management. The company has an attitude that unless you're directly involved with manufacturing a tire you're unnecessary and irrelevant to the overall success of the company. You are treated like a second class citizen by other employees as well as management.
