Pros

Kohler offers fairly good stability of employment and has been in business a long time in the area.

Cons

The politics are higher than what I have seen with public companys and decisions are very centralized through a tightly controlled proposal process. Unless you are a yes man or yes woman, you will likely be dissatisfied with employment at Kohler.

Pros

The only good thing about working for kohler Is the pay rate Is fairly good. And for me The locastion Is great, I live about 4 miles from work.

Cons

There are so many downsides to this company that theres not enough room to type all. The heat In this place Is almost unbearable, Limited cold air comes out vents but you have to be standing right under the vent to get cool. They work people like slaves, I would compare It to a modern day sweatshop. Management treats us like dirt, The work Is hard, sometimes lifting and making Two 61 pound charges every 2 minutes throwing them In a hot press and also making cardboared. The workpace Is Insane!.

Pros

Power of the Kohler brand. Kohler spends an imeasurable amount of time and money protecting there brand. If they spent some more of these dollars maybe they would have better employee retention.

Cons

Lack of transparecy at higher levels. Comes with being a privately held firm I guess but there seems to be a lot of secrecy internally.
