Pros

Pay $$$ People are impressed when you tell them you work for Toyota. They will pay your insurance if you lease a car.

Cons

Where do I begin first of all let's start with the lies on the job description it didn't say anything about escalations but trust me you will be the catch-all for every department. Training had an amazing instructor but they don't teach you how to deescalate customers they only teach you how to operate the systems. Once you get to the floor you will have a supervisor that you most likely hate there is only one supervisor who does his job properly all of the rest hide from their employees so they don't have to take sup escalations. Most of the supervisors are also very degrading because they will change your decision if a customer is screaming at them enough. They will lie to you in the beginning and say that you will only have to be there for a year before you're eligible for promotions but in actuality most people don't leave the department unless they've been there for 20 years or have a master's degree. Under no circumstances are you allowed to disconnect the call even if you are being belittled cursed out or insulted. If you are able to find a supervisor they will instruct you to place the customer on hold and wait until the customer just hangs up. The computers are very old like Windows 7 old and even though my computer was rebooting it took a month to get a replacement. Your schedule changes every 4 weeks yet they want you to pre-plan a doctor's appointment and things of that nature well ahead of time. You also are expected to request your vacation at the beginning of the year if not good luck getting it approved. The food in the kitchen is very expensive but very bland. The parking lot on the Southeast side is literally impossible and you will often be late for work just because you can't find a parking spot. If you are a woman you will be approached by someone eventually about your attire whether it be something as small as a head wrap or open toed shoes. They even sent someone home for wearing ugg boots!! Ridiculous. Overall just a very uptight corporate environment. If you are someone who values their respect and dignity this is not the job for you if you are someone who will literally do anything for money and are okay with being treated any type of way for money then you go right ahead.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your service to Toyota. As you are aware, respect for people is a core tenet of our organization and as such, discrimination is fundamentally against our core values. The situation described above is not one consistent with how we strive to operate or the experience we work to provide our team members. We would like the opportunity to further discuss your experience with you. If you are willing, please contact Toyota’s hotline called the Speak Up Line (anonymously, if you prefer) at (844) SPEAK-99 or via www.toyota.ethicspoint.com.

Harassment From Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great Company and Great Benefits

Cons

Management promotes a hostile workplace .Conduct is intentional, severe, recurring , pervasive and interferes with the employee's ability to perform his/her job. HR is pro management . The Hotline is not to protect the employees that are being harassed just a waste of time. After the investigation has come to a close management wins and the harassment just escalates trying to make you quit. Toyota is such a prestigious company but has a blind eye when it comes to the mistreatment of their employees. Why are managers allowed to abuse their power ? Harassment managers are not a reflection of what Toyota stands for . Why are they still in management positions ?
