Great people, great place to work!

Analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

-Kimberly-Clark has a working environment where employees are like family. Work/Life balance is something that is talked about on a regular basis and "Flex-Time" is the word-du-jour. -Collaboration is in the Kimberly-Clark culture, from day one you are put on multiple teams supporting a variety of business platforms and projects. -Mentoring, and continual personal and professional development is common throughout the organization. Having multiple weekly 1:1s is common and you have quarterly performance check-in discussions to understand how you are performing, where your goals are changing or leading you, and what are the next few potential career moves in the coming years.

Cons

-As with most large corporations, sometimes it feels that decisions get made (or at least communicated) more slowly than is necessary.

Tom would make a great CFO, but doesn't have the vision to grow a company like K-C.

Business Outlook

Pros

The salaries and benefits are competitive

Cons

The Performance Management system is brutal both as a team member and as a team leader. No room for failure as a team member, and no leeway for managers to give team members a second chance.

We miss the 'good old days'

Analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

More than fair benefits, including med/dental/Educational Reimbursement. Ample opportunity for career exploration in the 'good old days' but not so much anymore. Unless you are willing to uproot your family every so often there is little opportunity for job growth.

Cons

The 'new and improved' Performance Management System and forced ranking. It's still all about 'who' you know, not 'what' you know. KC used to be much more family oriented and there were supervisors and team leaders who actually cared about their teams development. Now, every decision is political. KC lost some of it's best employees to 'outsourcing' and many others jumped ship before they could be cut.
