Business Outlook

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.

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.

The BEST Company to work for

Pros

I've worked for Toyota for 13+ years and absolutely LOVE it, which is why I'm moving to Texas with them. So many opportunities are offered and flexibility has never been as issue for me, even as a single parent - awesome company.

Cons

None, other than hard work is expected from each associate. You might not always like who you work for, but getting the job done, as a team, makes it all worth while.

You Can't Beat the Culture and Future Outlook of Toyota!

Analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-You can't beat the benefits: tons of amenities at the HQ campus, health benefits are the best I've ever seen/experienced, car lease/discount program, etc. -Depending on your role/manager there is an abundance of work/life balance (WFH when needed, rarity to have long hours, lots of colleague support) -The company truly does have a long-term vision which creates a lot of job security/stability - no layoffs, always thinking of the next iteration of the company (from loom company, to automotive company, to mobility company) -The Toyota Way and other processes developed by the company are world-class and it's a great place to learn -If you're willing to network, volunteer and get involved in things outside of your day job you can make some life-long connections. If you decide to stay at Toyota, there are lots opportunities (you just have to wait for them to open up, which is why network, etc. is so crucial) to learn new things and move around to different groups -If you're willing to work hard and take on new challenges (which is sometimes volunteering for new projects) you can gain some great exposure to leaders in the organization and grow your career -Opportunities for contingent/contractors to convert to FTE, if desired (I did it)

Cons

-There are a lot of layers of management, so decisions can often take much longer than needed -Due to the long tenure of employees, it can take time to move up and around the company -Toyota isn't going to pay you the most base salary of any company out there, so if that's what you're looking for this likely isn't the place for you -The organization is constantly changing and moving, so if this is a problem for you, then you will not like it here (this is actually a good thing - but can be tough on some people) -Changing course/ new ways of doing things can often be a difficult process
