Pros

It is a well recognized company that can really help a resume. They are pioneers in just-in-time production and quality systems. These are sought out by many employers. You can be confident in job security there have been no layoffs at the Georgetown assembly plant since it opened in the late 80's.

Cons

Very few opportunities for advancement within the company. Many of the top leadership are from GM or other big 3 orginizations. Management in most cases refuse to address poor performance within the saaried work ranks - work is split to the high performers. Poor communication between parent company and US transplant making certain tasks frustrating

Pros

It's a steady paycheck and there are some really good people who work there. If you are looking for a safe place to be, Toyota is it. It's an organization that rewards politeness and being a "good guy."

Cons

Very little infusion of new ideas. Soldiers, not innovators, are promoted. There are very few good managers of people, but a lot of people who are very good at managing up. The Japanese parent company is a bureaucratic nightmare and can suck the life out of any simple request. The eternal struggle will be manufacturing versus sales. Lip service is given to production flexibility. If they could all they would sell are Tundras and Sequoias. We have to BEG to get more Priuses. Personnel problems are, in a perfect world, swept under the rug. It can take years for the company to build the courage to terminate anyone.
