Pros
Very nice building downtown Nashville with a huge gym, nice cafeteria with sushi, good health insurance. It looks good to have Bridgestone on your resume
Cons
Well, firestone building products does get your foot in the door, but it’s not where anyone wants to stay. And it is very hard to transfer to another department, a.k.a. The tire side. While some of my colleagues were able to do that, they were interviewing with other departments for up two years until something opened up for them. In short, FSBP is run by rich boomers with a mom-and-pop mentality. And just like any huge corporate America company, you are just a number, easily replaceable. That’s how I was treated. And HR in FSBP clearly has the employer’s side, so don’t waste your time. My department head was a woman that loves micromanaging and fear-based leadership. If you like being micromanaged and brown nosing, then you might enjoy it here. Otherwise it’s not worth having the name on your resume. Trust me.
