Pros

-Great coworkers -Great location for Metro Atlanta area -Beautiful corporate campus -Great health center/exercise facility and wellness programs -Decent benefits; medical/dental/profit sharing

Cons

-Management driven by Street results...regardless of internal "cost" -Respect for employees/indviduals marginal at best -Old boy network; promotion based on who you know/currying favor -Limited recognition of individual contribution -Old forced ranking system was deadly; new system is inexplicable -Average pay now limited by "Market Based Compensation" measures -Internal employee motivation programs based on ludicrous consultant recommendations -Unresolved struggle between old school and new school management philosophies @ top -Lean and mean has become corporate anorexia; too many tasks, too few people -Top management completely out of touch with day-to-day employee issues, needs and activities -Ridiculous internal computer/data systems for day-to-day operation with no training; systems change with no announcement, leaving non-IT employees to "work it out on the ground" -Team leaders/directors have their eyes pointed upwards; very limited contact/direction for their teams

Pros

Work life balance is very good. Opportunity to engage with senior leadership in interesting projects. The collaboration and camaraderie is top tier! The investment into employees is amazing.

Cons

While I love remote work, it can feel isolating to some. It's not for everyone. I find ways to connect with my team and others at Kimberly-Clark. I also do a good job of managing my time and focus. However, if you struggle in those areas a remote job is not the way to go.
