Pros

Cons
Recently Bridgestone moved corporate headquarters to Nashville bringing tires, retails, roofing, and diversified product businesses together. The re-location has impacted the experience levels across the business units. Cross business succession has been limited in these early stages. Individual develop planning and succession planning are available at Bridgestone; however continued focus and opportunities for improvement should be made available.
