Worked for KC for over 30 Plus Years. Retired before my time. Left early so that others would not be laid off.

Pros

Worked with a great group of guys who you could always count on to get the job done. Something that you don't see in many of the manufacture plants.

Cons

Training was fast paced and many times taken for granted. Those who were qualified were lacking in knowledge. Money was the issue. With KC standards always striving for safety. With that in mind it's a wonder that the accident level hasn't increased.

Great people but you have to deal with the management maze

Pros

Some of the sharpest, most collaborative people I have ever worked with in my career. Because of its location, K-C generally pays well at the beginning. Great place to raise a family. In most cases, you'll be able to have a wide array of experiences to build your CPG portfolio with some of the world's leading brands.

Cons

A lack of any real dialogue between senior leadership and the managers who've been tasked to drive the businesses. Be smart about the salary you negotiate, because you could be locked into that pay grade for quite some time as merit increases are small and advancement opportunities are both cloudy and only available if you actively hunt them down (success won't find you). K-C also insists that you get customer experience to move up the Brand ladder, but be careful...not all customer experiences are the same or valued the same way (which nobody tells you until afterward).

Pros

Good pay, benefits, decent work life balance

Cons

Company has not decided what exactly, they are looking to accomplish. You never feel secure, have no idea if there is going to be a job for you, and there are constant layoffs and restructuring. Additionally, no clear path for management, one day a director is in one role, the next day he is gone...
