Whirlpool is a diverse company with a big city atmosphere, but located in a small city.

Senior Product Designer (Current Employee)
Saint Joseph, MI (US)

I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than 10 years

ProsAwesome location, diverse environment. Great opportunities.

ConsHard to attract good young professionals because of the small city and distance from big cities.

Managment treats its employee's poorly

Lead Engineer (Current Employee)

I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than 10 years

ProsGood people to work with.

ConsManagment does not treat the employee's very well, no work life balance, poor review/calibration system (PMP). Managment does not provide good direction and is afraid to push back on upper managment if projects are not going well.

Advice to Senior ManagementCome up with a better review system, get rid of the current managment team.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Good company, need to focus on the growth of the employees

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee)

I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than a year

ProsSolid company, good benefits, strong commitment with the environment, nice place to work in terms of the people. Good Overall!

ConsSometimes the company doesn't appreciate what other departments do for the growth of the company. The better salaries and benefits goes to sales.

Advice to Senior ManagementShould evaluate the focus on the benefits.

Sr. Analyst

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Benton Harbor, MI (US)

I worked at Whirlpool full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat starter company to work for. Care about growth potential for new, young hires.

ConsMore development opportunities are needed for experienced employees. WHR encourages and supports continuous growth and development for young employees, but when you've been with the company several years you typically don't see that same level of commitment and you get lost in the shuffle All roads lead to Benton Harbor....not great for single people.

Advice to Senior ManagementFocus on growth and development for strong candidates. Figure out new ways to to retain lower/middle level mgmt.

great company that does things right the first time

Sales Development Representative (Current Employee)
Chicago, IL (US)

I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than a year

ProsThis company really cares about people. There is a drive to succeed and win in three marketplace but that seems to come second to caring for people. The company makes world class products as well. The company always treats its employees well and as long as employers are happy whirlpool will thrive. This company will be a world leader for another 100 years. Work life balance is excellent. They care more about you getting your work done than the hours you put in.

ConsAll roads lead to Benton harbor mi. that is the only major downfall of whirlpool

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
