Pros

benefits and rate of pay are ok

Cons

You don't work to live, you live to work for Kohler. That's how they treat their employees at the Huntsville,Al plant. As an employee for over 10+ yrs enough was enough, it was time to go. In my time there I witnessed sexual harassment, gender discrimination, race discrimination and just plan job harassment go unpunished. The bad thing is 3 of the 4 were done mainly by management at the plant. I myself was victim to all this along with 90% of the molding staff on all shifts. You can't complain about it or report it because if you do they make your life a living hell and look for any reason to write you up to fire you. In my time there I had death threats made to kill me and my son by another coworker, I had an area supervisor harass and call me names and threaten my job because i got hurt on the job and had to have surgery. Nothing was ever done about the death threats the just told me i was over reacting, now that person is in jail because of trying to kill someone. I had to get a lawyer to help get HR to advise the area supervisor to back off because he had me in tears everyday I was there will i was injured. The things that go on in that plant are unbelievable.

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
