Michelin

"Your treatment as a female will greatly depend on your business unit/manager. Negotiate your pay for your first position, because annual raises are not competitive and if you start on the lower end of the pay scale your compensation will only fall further and further behind others' who did negotiate."

"They have set goals to improve, still a lot work to do"

"Michelin treats all of its employees very well and promotes work-life balance."

"It is truly a family. You are cared about here!"

"Get involved in the various networks Michelin sponsors to learn about the company and to see how your gifts could benefit the networks."

"Michelin is a wonderful organization offering flexibility in career development for employees. I feel empowered as a whole and like my feedback is valued and appreciated. "

"It is a great company, with great benefits that fit for different stages of life"

"Michelin is very supportive of flexible schedules and work arrangements for both women and men, and a healthy work-life balance is part of the culture."

"I would let women that are considering working here know that this is an organization that empowers the growth of women. The possibilities are almost endless based on the interest the the corporation takes in what women have a desire to do. "

"In my current field based role, I work with customers who rarely are female; yet, my manager has built a diverse and empowered team of mostly women. I think I speak for our team when I say we are supported and believed if we face adversity, empowered to steer our career trajectory, and trusted to flex our schedule to our personal needs. "

"Seek out the other women here - there is an amazing network of support and great ideas on how to balance work /life and navigate this large complex company."

"Excellent Company with the right heart and values of respect! Every company has a few bad apples that find their way into a mangerial position. Michelin stands by it's leadership model, so its key to report what you encounter to help ensure things get back on track. I'm in a Business Resource Group trying to contact more of our female employees to help networking, support, and development - and to listen so we can give feedback to senior management on what needs to change so that women feel more and more supported."

"Great benefits and opportunities for growth. They value their employees."

"If you are a white women, you will get farther. If you are a minority , please stay away. Save yourself from what this company will put you through."

"Need to be driven to work here. I find the work rewarding and the people amazing. Manufacturing tends to be demanding in hours and in lack of flexibility. In order to reach crews at shift change, etc the hours could be difficult for young working moms."

"Michelin has been a great place to work as a mom of young children. I've found it very easy to balance my work and home life with every manager I have had!"

"I am proof that if you are dedicated and diligent, and take advantage of the opportunities available, Michelin will take care of you and provide a solid career with great benefits."

"Michelin operates based on core values that focus on respect for its people. There is a big push recently to prepare more women for management and leadership roles in the company and special training is being provided to aid in this. The company culture allows for the flexibility required to balance work and life with a family."

"One of the core values of this company is Respect for People. I have been told I am respected by many. I believe this began with respecting others first, then following with strong job performance that can be quantified. "

"Communication is poor - everything is in French (training documents, Michelin-made software, etc). In the manufacturing plants, you do not get holidays off. If you want to be off on Memorial Day, Labor Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, etc.. You have to take vacation for that (and yes - you only get 2 weeks of vacation when you start)"

"I have worked at Michelin for 15-year and during the time I have felt very supported by the Company and their offerings. They have a really great career development program, they have amazing learning and development offers and their compensation and benefits had been a perk. As a working mother, I have felt supported through the maternity leave, access to care.com, the Michelin Mamas, MilkStork (breastmilk transportation), etc. I am proud to be a woman at Michelin."

"Michelin is a fantastic place to work. The opportunities for growth and advancement are available for everyone, and the company truly respects it's employees. My values align with my company and I have had a very successful career with them so far. "

"Considering Michelin’s industry is male-dominated and the company has a rich, paternalistic history, Michelin is fairly progressive compared to other companies on promoting gender diversity. That said, I do not believe I am paid equally to my male counterparts. I also believe I’ve been passed over for promotions because of my gender related to their assumption that I’m the primary childcare provider for my child (and therefore not as committed, not available for long hours or able to meet travel requirements, etc. as a male coworker.) Most of my positions over my 20+ years with Michelin have been in male-dominated departments on top of that. I’ve been exposed to some pretty eye-opening situations. Most managers I’ve had don’t tolerate it and address issues. Others are the issue. Fortunately there are ways to bring this to HR’s attention. The company has policies and tremendous resources in place though to help. I think compared to the majority of companies out there, Michelin is better than most. "

"Michelin cares about each employee and wants them to have a well-rounded life. It continuously looks for ways to improve and is not afraid of change. I've been here for over 11 years and hope to be here for many more. "

"Women are valued and promoted within. People stay for their career."

"It is a great company that allows you to have multiple career paths in many areas regardless of your degree/experience. If you have a degree in marketing and want to explore other areas of the company such as industry or supply chain or HR....if you perform well you will have this opportunity. I have had 2 children while working at Michelin and I have felt very supported in having a family and with good work-life balance when they are sick or when school is cancelled, etc. I have good flexibility to respond and ensure my children are my priority."

"It's a great place to work if you're not looking to progress quickly to the highest level of the company."

"Working in Michelin, brought me personal and professional growth. I can picture myself staying in a long term perspective. The working environment, the life- balance we can have is totally worth it."

"There is a great culture, and the company invests in development of employees. You will be proud to work here, and will have the opportunity for both personal and professional growth. Plus, you'll work with awesome people who have a sense of purpose and who demonstrate respect. "

"The culture is all about caring - makes it a lovely place to be most of the time."

"Michelin is a great employer that puts their people at the heart of the business. I see the core value of "Respect for People" lived out in many aspects of the company."

"The flexibility and benefits are excellent here. They are working hard to diversify and more with current times."
