Pros

-Great place to get started -Even with unrealistic goals, relatively low pressure environment -Rarely micromanaged -Industry "leader" in terms of brand recognition -If you're a manger who prefers power to pay, come and get it

Cons

-Way too many layers, they're more of a marketing firm than manufacturing -Limited growth opportunity unless you are willing to move to BFE -Consolidated many mid-level management positions -Terrible pay -Some of the promotions were laughable

Good company for the most part. Location is poor if you are under the age of 30.

Pros

Large multinational company with a good reputation. Good benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k with match, pension. Privately held with over 80% of profit reinvested in the company.

Cons

Bad location: the Village of Kohler is only 2,000 people, Sheboygan is only 50,000. Bad location if you are young. If you are married with kids it is a pretty good place. Although the benefits are good, actual pay is below average in most positions.

Proud of the product but internal problems

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers. You can be proud of their products.

Cons

It's not what you know, it's who you know. There are definitely "select" people that get the training, promotions, money and who's opinion is valued. Upper management does not listen to or care about employees. They say they do but when it comes down to it you're a number. Lots of training for good processes that you never use in "real life".
