      If you revel in frustration, poor leadership and 1950 management styles - this is the place for you.

      Pros

      Global businesses, Diverse operations, midwest, recognized name, many people trying to do the right thing (but they get frustrated after 5 years or less and leave.)

      Cons

      Micro management, out-of-touch product development due to family controlled process, extremely poor (or non-existant) leadership, favoritism, long hours, very low pay, located in a rural area, not diverse (a lot of white men!), prefer status-quo despite telling people that being an entrepeneur is valid. And, the line about being "candid" that they give you is also not true. Leadership is based on emotions and irrational behavior instead of sound business acumen.

      Pros

      Cost of living is very low in Sheboygan/Kohler region Kohler Village is a beautiful town full of nice people and amenities

      Cons

      Pay is low as Kohler strives to recruit the best and "pay at the median" Review process is abitrary and unevenly applied throughout the company All decisions are made at the very highest level and in a vacuum Entrenched, "this is how we have always done it" culture Kohler tries to run a luxury hotel using manufacturing processes Consistently confuses the concepts of management versus leadership
