Pros

The people were the best part of Firestone. I felt like I was making a difference every day. Very good pay and bonus potential. Great location for operations.

Cons

Over the past 2 years, morale was at an all time low, because of decisions made by management (local and in Indianapolis). In January 2016, 3 of the 4 Metal plants were shutdown, and several people in the Anoka office lost their job. The process was very demeaning and uncaring to many of these people, and I lost all respect for this company I once was very proud of. I was lucky enough to have the education and the skill set to leave the organization, and find another place of employment.

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
