Pros

Lots of opportunity to do work significantly outside of your title and take on stretch assignments while you try to prove your worthiness for a promotion.

Cons

If you start your career at kohler and do not boomerang, you’ll be at a significant disadvantage. They do not promote within so make sure you’re happy with the title you get hired in at because you’ll have it a long time. Lots of entry level titles managing hundreds of thousands of $ budgets and doing senior management level work at 8+ years in.

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
