Pros

-Larger than life brand/company, lots of career options. -Headquarters campus is very nice, good food options. -Quality and reliable products. -Good pay and benefits.

Cons

-Everything is talk, no action. -Favoritism. If Management doesn't like you, you get stuck in your position. -No internal movement. -Traditional organization, we talked about being innovative and being the best but we were very behind other brands technology wise. Also the technology we offer is very subpar compared to the rest of the industry which is disappointing considering how much people love Toyota/Lexus. -HR as usual does not protect the employees, they allow unfair treatment by management. However, this is the complete opposite of what they tell you when you come to the company. HR is worthless and will not protect you. -Culture (Respect for People) is not truly reflected across all departments. -Your experience with Toyota depends on what department you are in which makes them inconsistent. -They tell you they care about your feedback but when you give it, you become a target. -They will tell you they aren't but are TYPICAL CORPORATE AMERICA!!!! -Managers do whatever they want without regard to their teams. "Policy" changes often so process are inconsistently followed. -No development from management. -Management is under qualified and clueless on their jobs which is why the departments have no consistency. -Ridiculous and unrealistic metrics. -You are treated like a preschooler and not an adult. -No accountability for unfair treatment.

Toyota North America Response

Thank you for your service with us and for providing your input. Professional development of our team members is at the core of everything we do. After all, if our people don’t grow, we cannot grow as a company either. Opportunities for development are plentiful – whether hands-on training, mentorship, leadership with business partnering groups, participation in kaizen or other innovation-promoting initiatives (cue our Innovation Fair!), or other opportunities – and we hope our team members take full advantage of what’s available. If you are not sure where to start, we encourage you to talk to your Human Resources representative and discuss options available to you. We ask each team member to think outside the box with everything they are working on – from mundane tasks to potentially break-through initiatives. That will not only allow our team members develop but will also take our company to the next level through development of innovative technologies to improve the quality of human life and the driver experience. Again, we appreciate you taking the time to give us this feedback and are sorry to hear you feel your experience at Toyota has not reflected our core values of Respect for People and Continuous Improvement.
