Pros

Used to be a great place to work in, known for its inclusive and a collaborative environment made it a truly great place to build a career.

Cons

Before the restructuring, Kohler prided itself on fostering a sense of community and belonging among its employees. The leadership was approachable, and there was a clear, shared vision that everyone felt a part of. Teamwork was highly encouraged, and there were numerous opportunities for employees to contribute to projects across different departments, allowing for a rich exchange of ideas and professional growth. However, the recent restructuring has significantly altered the workplace dynamics. The changes implemented have led to a more rigid corporate structure, and many employees feel that the new management approach lacks the personal touch that once defined Kohler’s culture. The focus has shifted more towards efficiency and cost-cutting, sometimes at the expense of employee morale and job satisfaction.

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.
