Kimberly-Clark Employer Reviews

I typically transported material to Operators from staging areas and sometimes loading dock/learned to keep record of material used

Great trend setters for its industry. Opportunity to move around to various departments and channels of industry. Management can be a bit inconsistent and favortism is a factor as well within some departments, but not all. Unfortunately, the company conducts lay off quite frequently.

Kimberly Clark takes good care of their poeple, it was just to bad they felt they had to close the mill. I liked the people their and the benefits.

I accepted this co-op position mainly because they had the highest offer. I ended up loving the company, the people I worked with, and basically just everything about the experience.

Safety is paramount.
Employee training is ISO based and hands-on.
Team concept is effective.

my day would start out with talking to the person i was re leaving to find out if my machine had any troubles during their shift. then i would go inspect the product coming off the line. through out the day i would make quality inspections drive a forklift and do daily housekeeping. also i would do my computer work and work on safety meetings. if my – more... machine broke down i would have to fix the problem and repair parts as needed. management was wonderful always involved with what was happening on our floor. working as a team was very important because a good portion of things could not be done on your own. the most enjoyable part of my job was the mechanical knowledge i gained as well as becoming a active member and shop Steward in my union. the hardest part of my job was taking on several rolls on my floor such as saftey specialist, shop steward, running morning meetings, and helping others on my floor learn the computer programs. it was hard to juggle at first but i was up for the challange and loved every minute of it because it felt like i was making a difference. – less

Work on a rotating 12-hour, compressed work-week schedule. I learned how to use computer systems (MS-Word, Excell, Power-Point, etc), learned how to become proficient with logistics, as well as the operation and maintenance of a wide variety of mechanical and electrical equipment used in the mass production of pulp and paper, working safely with HAZMAT. – more... I got along well with co-workers and management. The hardest part of the job was meeting deadlines with production demands, but this was completed successfully. The most enjoyable aspect of this job was the efficient processes we developed, using communication and experience, to keep a very safe work environment. – less

Kimberly Clark has some of the best personal care machines in the world.

I really enjoyed my job at Kimberly Clark. Everything was fine until a job was posted for B team on Lex 2. This was the laziest team in the pllant. I thought I could make a difference but that was hard to do with6 against 1.

*My day began at 6:00a.m. we had a quota meeting at the beggining of every shift.(end shift at 4;00p.m.)
*I learned exactly how logistics worked and how some of my everyday use products were handled.
*My Shift Lead/Supervisor was great, I liked the fact that even under pressure he always kept his cool.
*I worked at the warehouse right in the middle – more... of the Dallas summer, therfore the warehouse absorbed a lot of the humidity, that was the hardest part to me.
*The most enjoyable part was when the team worked hard all day and we met our quotas, so that we could come in the next day and start something fresh and new. – less

Typically, I walked to different departments and interviewed employees and documented their jobs into standard operating procedures for the Baby Child Care division. I took notes and photographed tasks and equipment to incorporate into the procedures.

Kimberly Clark is a very good place to work and provides good benefits.

Long days and nights shift work. Learned alot about making paper and what it takes to make paper towels. Management was friendly and showed leadership. My co-workers and I would work together as a team. The hardest part was my job was the shift work. I worked two days (12 hours shifts) and two nights. Then I would have off time. The most enjoyable part – more... of the job was learning new skills and meeting new people. – less

Good Place to work just very few oppurtunities to move up. It has given me a lot of different experiences though. Like Safety, Training, Computers, Machine Process Knowledge, and other skills that will be helpfull at other jobs. My job changes from time to time all of our Jobs are mainly Temp as far as staying in that job they range from 1 year asignments – more... to up to 5 year assignments. The job I am currently in is in Waste reduction. I currently check the top 5 waste areas on 8 diaper machines every morning and work on those areas till the root problem is resolved. Then when they are resolved I start over on new problems. The hardest part of the job is to put standards in place and the substain them. Waste has not been something we have really concentrated on in the past therefore it is hard to get the buy in of the operators that have been doing it for a long time that way. With the economy like it is though it is important to save in all areas. The most enjoyable part is the challenge and the results. It is awesome to go into a meeting and show the numbers of what a 1% reduction in machine waste actually adds up to in real money. – less

A typical day at work is pulling car parts. Customers order them and I pull them. Ive learned time management. Every part that was ordered had to be pulled by a certain time. The management was excellent. My co-workers were definitely hard workers and I enjoyed working with them. The hardest part of the job was pulling the heavy parts such as car hoods – more... and bumpers. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people, I enjoyed working with them – less

good management. Friendly environment, it was the best company that I had work for.

Great Co-workers.
Long work hours.
Would enjoy working there still if mill had not closed.
Detail work.

I was an IT contractor until they cut back on IT contractors and increased their in-house staff. Still, it's a very good company and it's interesting being in a manufacturing environment where they make stuff people use every day.

I really loved having this job. If you are able to work rotating shifts and 12 hour shifts then it is perfect. I would love to go work there again.

ENJOYED WORKING FOR KC. PICKED UP A LOT OF SKILLS AS FAR AS LEADERSHIP,LOGISTICS, TRAINING,MACHINE OPERATIONS & QUALITY CONTROL
