They have fair compensation. The organizational culture has strong commitment to rules and procedures, but it sometimes limits opportunities for creativity.

A vast multicultural company to work for. Great work mates and a fantastic team. We maintained the entire Vehicle Assembly building. I enjoyed the work hours as it suited my personal life style. The hardest part of the job was the pressure to get the production line moving ASAP under pressure & having to make on the spot decisions. The most enjoyable parts of the job were A/ The personal satisfaction I got performing my duties & B/ The friends I made over my 28 year journey.

Productive and Challanging

Project Leader (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 23 June 2018

Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) is an amazing organization that has strong philosophy (people first) and has a diverse employees. The company offers lots of opportunities and challenges to its employees whether it is a daily operations, decision making or providing leadership. Dealing with various stakeholders is definitely more challenging, especially the approval process. there are lots of amazing people who offer support and work as a team.

Good company, you will be challenged, held responsible and advancement is slow.

Applications Manager (Former Employee) - Port Melbourne VIC - 11 June 2018

Toyota has a definite culture of pushing yourself and not being satisfied with the status quo. Like all organisations, each business unit has its own alignment and maturity with the Toyota way. Most work is outsourced. You need some thick skin at times as the culture is self reflection and criticism with the objective of personal and process improvement. Do not let the approach-ability of managers fool you - it is hierarchical and you can get in trouble if you stray outside your line manager. Authority is also one level above responsibility so you are continually justifying your decisions to a higher manager and possibly many other stakeholders. Go to the source is strongly encouraged. Advancement is slow and by consistent results and maintaining good relationship with line management.

Pros

Lease car options, Flexibility, Respect, market leader

Cons

Not autonomous, slow advancement, muti-stakeholder approval on a lot of things.

Challenging and intersting to work

Maintenance Fitter (Former Employee) - Altona VIC - 5 April 2018

As a maintenance fitter,I worked attached to Paint shop maintenance section. At first I had to do morning checks for all of the machines to make sure that they are ready for production. Recheck in case any machines have any outstanding issues. Repairing broken parts in order to use them again Preventive Maintanance checks During my work, I have learnt new skills, I coordinate with production management maintenance management engineers and production line workers to minimise my breakdown time. I work as a team member all the time. We share our knowledge and help each other as needed. I am always enjoying myself as a maintanance worker however some work made us over thinking. End of the day we all satisfied. I enjoy the working environment and ensuring the machines run smoothly.
