Pros

I've been at Kohler for several years and I've been very happy here. The benefits are great - pension plan with 401k contributions - a holiday break - job security. Kohler is a great product and the relationships built are incredible.

Cons

If you want to move up, you have to move to Wisconsin.

Pros

Great exposure to a national company with opportunity to learn. Enjoyed working with all the co-workers.

Cons

Policies were enforced for some but not all. Corporate office doesn't understand the culture in a small town and assumes that what works well in other locations would work the same in MS. Human Resource Department is very inefficient has had great turnover and Corporate HR is lacking in leadership. Their are some in your face discrimination that occurs but the vast majority of the discrimination is masked and condoned by upper management. I found it to be a very racist place to work for if you are a female or a person of color. I would not recommend this company to anyone solely because of the underhanded dirty politics that I saw first hand. The overall vibe just isn't a good one and most people would like to enjoy the environment they work in.

Overall a good job, but not a good career.

Pros

You generally know what is expected of you but there isn't any motivation for doing anything more than that.

Cons

No advancement opportunities unless you are in on the politics.
