So close to being a great employer

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand recognition and pride. High caliber of employees with a strong work ethic and energy. Clear and well known core competencies that are pervasive from one business unit to another.

Cons

The Human Resources organization is lead by a family member who does not understand employee engagement. Decisions and policies are based on "how things look" rather than doing the right things. There is no accountability. The Kohler Learning Organization's turnover in the past decade is a testament to the cultural collision between wanting to do the right thing, and the HR leadership's insistence on the contrary.

Flexible environment, friendly people. Down to earth leaders leading the company makes it easy to work out things that are in your an company's favor.

Cons

Time constraint and quality work is expected from all the companies but here you have to deliver those thing in very framed way, as company focuses on those things.

Great products and chances to develop, but management is from the Stone Age.

Business Outlook

Pros

Highly respected company in the market. Well-designed products. People in the trenches work hard. You can be proud of the work you do here (if you ignore the petty politics).

Cons

Top-down management style creates an atmosphere of distrust that filters down into teams and affects attitudes and productivity. Managers have their own secret agendas and actively compete with each other. Decisions are made by management in a vacuum with very little feedback or input from those affected. Employee development messaging is off-kilter from reality. We're trained to "own it" and take responsibility, but then aren't allowed to.
