      Slow death? Or Real American Growth?

      Pros

      Benefit package is outstanding. If you are not a union member, you can work there forever.

      Cons

      No good deed goes unpunished. Everyone fears HVK and consequently, won't make a decision in a timely manner. It takes a lifetime and a zillion approvals to get approval for a project. If any single person in the chain doesn't like the project (or you), you have to start over.

      Pros

      Great insurance benefits and pension plan (if you stay 6 years). There are nice people, some great leaders that work at Kohler.

      Cons

      There’s minimal job security. Kohler fires HR colleagues like no other company. The turnover is crazy high. Associates with longer tenure are leaving. HR senior leadership in control haven’t worked at other companies. The only way to survive (don’t even think you’ll be spending time on meaningful valuable work) in Kohler in HR is if you are at a lower level or support low level leaders.

If you haven't already, we encourage you to speak with your leader or HR partner so we can learn more and see how we can help!
