Yokohama Tire reviews

The classic dead-end job can be found at Yokohama. The con is also the pro in this scenario--if you want a life-long aggressively mediocre job that you can count on, then Yokohama is right for you. 1-2% raises are the norm on years that we have raises. $25 Wal-Mart gift cards for Christmas are the norm on years that we get gift-cards for Christmas.

This company is the American subsidiary of Yokohama Rubber, in Japan. Senior executives rotate in and out every 4 years or so, and so none of them look at the long-term impact of any decision. They are fixated on what they can accomplish before they rotate back to Japan, or some other subsidiary. IT jobs are awarded primarily to foreign contractors from Cognizant, or off-shored to Cognizant. They use local people *only* when they cannot find the talent they need at Cognizant. Although they pay premium prices for Cognizant workers, they do not want to pay going rates for the domestic help. IT management will say absolutely anything to get what they want, until they don't need you (or think they don't). Then all bets are off. The worst part is that they make decisions based on personal goals, and not necessarily the company's stated goals; when they draw subordinates into their deceits, they put rank and file employees in an ethical bind. If you have any other options, steer clear of this company.
