was a good company
Commodity management (Former Employee), Neenah, WI – August 14, 2012
Pros: salary
Cons: unreliable employment
KC changed over the 20 years I was there. At first I had many opportunities and I actually enjoyed various challanges there. Over the years I noticed a shift in their values and everything moved towards money money money. We used to partner with our vendors and it changed to us being dictators. Then in 2003, KC downsized and eliminated my position. – more... I was still in the partner mode and no longer fit the new culture. – less

Overall, a very good place to work and support my family.
Pulp Mill Bleach Plant Operator (Former Employee), Everett, WA – August 12, 2012
Pros: good pay and benefits, along with a good work environmemt.
Cons: 12 hour shifts could drag a little, especially when everything was running great, but it evens out in the end.
Challenging work environment, with lots of responsibility. Learned something new almost daily, due to constant changes in raw product quality and equipment variations. Management was very supportive, but only worked business days - nights and weekends were left to us, but we had numbers to call if needed. Co-workers were well trained and overall they – more... were good operators. Hardest part of my job was working in a central control room located out of my area and in a different part of the pulp mill. Enjoyable part was being a good operator and being able to train and help other team members, and also the self-satisfaction from solving tough problems and getting praised for that. I take great pride in my work and that of others working with me. – less

Kimberly-Clark was a rewarding company to work for.
Tissue Machine Operations Specialist (Former Employee), Everett, WA – July 27, 2012
Pros: very good compensation. chalenging work.
Most days were chalenging. Never a dull moment! Most days filled with chalenges that came up. The hardest part of the job was the last year before closing the Mill in Everett. The most enjoyable part was the comrodery in the mills workforce.

Verner – July 29, 2012

Very, very disappointing company, Management is dishonest, from their advertisement for Chief Operating Engineer and 2nd class Stationary Engineer positions; they are going to outsource the Utilities department. I was lured from a great paying job only to be used for my ticket, and nothing else, I was lied to on my roles and responsibilities that included Fire Chief. Less than a year with the company and they took the Fire Chief role away. Team work is doing what you are told to do. I have had more management training seminars in the two month with my new employer verses none with 2 years with KC. I had no training with KC other than what is mandated by law. The root of the problem with this company is the nepotism that exists from the top down. There is an aura from management that they are better and above existing laws. So how can you enforce local Ontario laws? Be aware.

Good Company in general, specific sites can value style over substance...
R-Team EE I for Family Care Eng at the Jenks Mill (Former Employee), Tulsa, OK – June 28, 2012
Pros: flexible work schedules, great co-workers, good benefits
Cons: politics, recent change in pay structure that disregards experience in some cases
Kimberly-Clark is a good company for which to work. At the site for which I worked, safety was #1, even over production. For Electrical Engineers, a typical day would see one overseeing contractor installations or tweaking new HMI systems with existing PLC's (mostly Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation). I met a lot of true friends in many of my co-workers, – more... which was probably the most enjoyable part of the job. However, the hardest part was overcoming negative perceptions brought on by a couple of malcontents, a situation that was completely mishandled by those in the management. Again, this was site specific, and nowhere is perfect, but be prepared for style to be rewarded over substance... – less

Very dangerous place to work
6th hand (Former Employee), Coosa Pines, AL – June 18, 2012
Pros: great compensation and benefits
Cons: extremely dangerous place to work
This was a very hazardous place to work and working conditions were deplorable. Kimberly-Clark did provide excellent compensation and benefits; but this was only because it was a union shop and their contract with the unions mandated such compensation and benefits.

Well paying job with good benefits and a good schedule. But shady dealings with management and corporate.
Safety coordinator/ Machine operator (Former Employee), Everett, WA – May 23, 2012
Pros: pay, benefits, shifts
Cons: lots
A very challenging and rewarding job. People were awesome to work with. Like most places it was work, so work isn't always fun. We worked rotating shift work 12 hour shifts. We had overtime opportunities all the time. Hardest part of the job was trying to break in the new people. Our machine was so massive that people were intimidated very easily. Breaking – more... them of their fear so they can focus in actually training was the most difficult part of the job. There was physical work aswell but that is just part of it. – less
