Pros

It is a multinational company, and it is growing rapidly especially in the Asia (South East Asia) region It is good for graduates to begin their career in this company (America, Asia) as these regions are making $$$, so there is an opportunity to grow in the company.

Cons

Too many chiefs and lack of Indians in the company, every decision/task/project get cc around Too many managers with no balls, meaning there are managers who afraid in decision making, hence causing delay in everything. Cost savings on everything even professional development on its staff

Pros

My boss is a great person. I have freedom in my job. Upper management takes my feedback and actually takes it into consideration. there is open communication between the company. Overall supportive environment. Sales managers are not the brightest sometimes. Compensation is soso, but benefits are decent. there are good career opportunities within kohler. the employee morale is good. Everyone seems to be busy and gets their stuff done. I don't really have much of a balance between work/ and life. I find myself constantly checking my blackberry even on weekends because I like being proactive. Overall probably the best company in the sector.

Cons

I feel that if I wanted to advance in Kohler I would have to move to Wisconsin.
