      Pros

      Position was an easy commute and close to home. Position was fairly good when I started but heavily impacted by the economy.

      Cons

      Poor benefits; lack of vision by senior site management; micromanagement style of senior site management; complete lack of trust in the employees to do the right thing.

      Pros

      If you are out of options and are stuck in the Sheboygan area, then work at Kohler. Benefits are good thanks to the union, including week off from Xmas through New Years plus vacation weeks. People take advantage of tuition reimbursement to finish degrees. Marquette offers an MBA program at Kohler. Many people work at Kohler for decades, so loyalty is high and expected. When you join, you are taken in and treated like family. People are friendly and welcoming.

      Cons

      Pay lags behind Milwaukee. Off the chart expectations with no support (financial, people, time, outside resources) makes it nearly impossible to earn high marks at review time. Work continued to pile up with no end in sight. Kohler employs an absurd review program that is cumbersome and nearly impossible to score well on. Management is lackluster and oddly closed-minded to new ideas. Company is run by a family that thinks it is royalty.
