A day in the life of a CCR I
Customer Care Representative I (Current Employee), Kohler, WI – April 24, 2013
Pros: rewarded through merit compensation
Cons: having complete day planned out for the associate
Working at Kohler Company allowed my learn learn about Supply Chain and Inventory. The upselling of products was very beneficial because not ony did I learn how to sell, but I was taught the importance of product knowledge. The company also taught me the inportance of exceptional customer service.
A typical day at work includes answering the phones – more... and dealing with the customers in sometimes a frustrating point. It taight me emotional control with the customer and how to control the call.
The hardest part of the day would be dealing with the customer that no longer wants to hear what you have to say. But the skills that the company teaches you helps to control the "no so satisfied" customer. – less

Kohler is a great company to get a start in Marketing, but is not necessarily a place to stay for the long-term
Associate Product Manager - Bathing Products (Former Employee), Kohler, WI – April 9, 2013
Kohler is a well run company with good company value and an emphasis on work-life balance. The only problem is that their compensation is lower than other companies.

Behind times/ need new and fresh employees
intern (Former Employee), kohler, wi – April 6, 2013
The company lacks new innovation and constantly cuts benefits due to the lack of keeping up to date. They also have frequent layoffs and weak morale. Overall they are subpar and do not make strategic or proactive adjustments and their employees pay for it.

Great Environment, Great people
Assembler, Packer, Set Up, Material Handler (Current Employee), Kohler, WI – April 3, 2013
Pros: great pay, lots of overtime, good people
Cons: the only thing i didn't like was the flex worker program, waiting month to month to find out if you have a job to come back to the next month.
I liked working in the DC building. Great people, I got along with everyone. Everyone had a great sense of humor. Great foreman.
Kohler is the nicest place I ever worked. It wasn't just a job.

The only thing I didn't like was the Flex worker program, waiting month to month to find out if you have a job to come back to the next month.

Great starting – more... pay. Lots of overtime. – less

Ability to advance at Kohler
Technical Support Representative (Former Employee), Union City, TN – March 25, 2013
Pros: good benefits, ability to advance.
Cons: constant pressure from management.
At Kohler, you knew what was expected of you & could plan your work schedule, complete the work & have free time if needed once work was completed. I liked Kohler because I could prove my skills & able to advance based on my performance. I didn't become stagnant. Work wasn't dull or boring.

Co-workers snobby,pretentious, arrogant, very unfriendly and hard to get to get acquainted with.
Hospitality Switchboard Operator (Former Employee), Kohler, WI – March 15, 2013
Pros: free salad bar, free coffee/soup everyday, birthday treats.you could earn hospitality bucks to spend within the company.
Cons: extremely rude co-workers, management, unsafe chairs/chair pad, at times employees would have to park their cars quite far away from their work environment, then would have to walk in the dark to get their vehicles, quite risky and dangerous.
Management sides with the employee causing the problem not with the victim.Co-workers were rude, snobby, and pretentious.I learned that I never, ever want to work for the Kohler Co. ever again!!
I don't understand how or why The American Club is rated a 5 star hotel when you have to take a shuttle to get to anything, hardly anything is within walking – more... distance!!The most enjoyable part of the job was leaving to go home,the position I had was very dull and boring, sometimes I found myself falling asleep at my desk,first time I ever had that at a job!!! – less

Great place to work
Group Credit Manager, EMEA (Former Employee), Gloucester – March 14, 2013
I had a fantastic time with Kohler, spanning many years. A highly recommended place to work with all the benefits you would expect with a very diverse & global company.
During my time there, I met many people that I would now consider good friends & the general culture there was excellent. Being friendly & sociable but with the majority of people dedicated – more... to their roles & the success of the company. – less

Great family owned company to work for!
Sr. Sales Analyst (Current Employee), Kohler, WI – March 12, 2013
Pros: benefits, family orientates
Cons: pays in the 50th percentile; which in turn can be low compared to other companies
As Sheboygan's largest company who's known by most as a plumbing manufacturer, Kohler is a challenging and fun place to work. Besides plumbing Kohler manufacturers Power Systems, Furniture, tile, and provides gracious service at it's two 5 diamond hotels.

In the 10 years I've been working for Kohler I've learned so much about the workings of the company – more... in many forms. The processes and procedures I've learned has allowed me to apply my schooling to help increase revenue and customer loyalty. – less

Server (Current Employee), Kohler, WI – February 12, 2013
Pros: excellent employee relationships
My past employment has taught me many things. As a server, I was expected to handle myself professionally and maintain excellent relationships with customers during every shift. It was honestly a pleasure working for Kohler Co. I've never had more supportive managers or coworkers. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was the people I met and still – more... remain good friends with (coworkers and customers). – less

Kohler Plastics as a Manpower Employee
(Manpower), Operator (Current Employee), Sheridan, AR – February 8, 2013
Pros: plenty of overtime available, you know your schedule for the entire year in advance
Cons: pay raises are few and far between, and there isn't a lot of opportunity for growth
At the plastics plant your day starts at 5:48a.m. or p.m. depending upon your shift. Each shift is 12 hours long.
The supervisor assigns your lines for the day. One side is components the other is toilet seats. Either side can be a challenge or very simple. You more than likely won't be on the same line two days in a row.
The supervisors are completely – more... different on all four shifts (Red 1, Red 2, Blue 1 and Blue 2) Blue supervisors are the more laid back and easy going supervisors. Red supervisors are the opposites entirely.
I get enjoy my co-workers on Blue shift. We all get along pretty well. Almost like a family.
The hardest part of the job is standing on your feet for 12 hours.
The most enjoyable part is well the pay check. – less
