Pros
Brand and name recognition Quality products Long, rich history Diversity of products & services Global company Holiday shut down !
Cons
Many in HR leadership are locals who have been with the company for a long time....no new ideas or willingness to change Only thing innovative about the company are its K&B products External brand does not match internal brand RIF's have left the company operating at a bare bones level...people are burning out ...no one cared Leadership acted like they cared about engagement, but really did not. Many good employees left during 2010. Lack of understanding on how to retain good employees Associates are only willing to hear that they are not getting a merit increase for so long - especially when they are doing at least 2 people's jobs. Leadership in company is arrogant and seems to think that people will be lining up to come work for Kohler *Someone in HR Leadership actually looks for current associates resumes on CareerBuilder & Monster.com. If she finds you, she will set up a meeting to discuss. Who does that? Tacky & unprofessional.
