Pros
Pretty good benefits, company car, a flexible schedule and a powerful brand name. If you like golf they own golf courses..........if you like cheese, they are located in Wisconsin
Cons
Middle Management is extremely weak. Kohler tends to promote by who they like, or how they did on a Management presentation, not by experience, success or results. You are at the mercy of the director above you. Don’t get me wrong, some are good, many are really bad. I had a problem, it was called common sense and curiosity, I ended up sticking out for asking questions..... I was labeled and my career stalled. If you work here, be a complete yes man or woman. When the lemmings jump, jump with them. In a business sense you will die from following some really bad ideas, but from a career standpoint you will live to be promoted, overworked and grossly underpaid. Kohler Sales is kind of like the DMV. You have lifers who are there til they retire entrenched behind 3 inch thick glass. People waiting in long impossible lines looking for career advancement, and senior managers who are the bureaucrats who want no change. If you have the slightest entrepreneurial spirit, avoid working at Kohler, it will not be rewarded. If you do end up working here, get what you can out of the organization, build your resume and then jump for a better opportunity
