Pros
Whirlpool is a fairly ethical company. With its base in the Midwest, it has deep roots in old-school American values and fair treatment of its employees. Salaries seem to be fairly high with great benefits packages, especially when you realize how cheap it is to live in Benton Harbor or Saint Joseph, Michigan, which are located right on the lake with spectacular sunsets and beaches.
Cons
Internal communications (especially globally) are weak. This causes duplicated effort and silos of work influence. It is also pretty difficult to get a lot of changes made -- Whirlpool is not a very agile company.
