Pros
This company is definitely Fast paced ... there is never a lack of meaningful projects to work on and there is a lot of visibility if you work hard and are career oriented ... with that comes acknowlegement for a job well done ... work sites are left to determine their own fate ... therefore employees know each other on personal level usually ... this is not a silo'ed company like most others ... base pay is very good and seems to be inline with the industry, locality, and type of work most of the time ... not very much pigeon holing going on either ...
Cons
Work life is top priority, oftern to the point where managers will explain that person life will have to be shelved ... a very strong 24 hours in a day mentality as there are several manufacturing background individual in top leadership postitions ... business decisions are often based on emotion or my way-or-the highway attitude by senior management which leads to impression the group is out of touch with grass root level employees ... Whirlpool is in a very, very tight business and the margins on product are not what you think they might be ... very hard to discuss long-term planning with management
