Pros – Good people to work with.
Cons – Managment 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 Management – Come up with a better review system, get rid of the current managment team.

I worked at Whirlpool full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Great starter company to work for. Care about growth potential for new, young hires.
Cons – More 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 Management – Focus on growth and development for strong candidates. Figure out new ways to to retain lower/middle level mgmt.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than a year
Pros – This 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.
Cons – All 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

Cons – Male dominated industry and internally. Effort made to improve in the past 5 years.
Advice to Senior Management – Not have the bonus so closely tied to the U.S. results; should be Canadian results.
