Shipping Clerk (Former Employee), Old receiving –
Pros: good hours
Cons: not nice people to work with
Careful on this one. Dangerous. Possible schizophrenic person in department. Company is aware of problems but doesn't do anything about it such as letting this troubled person go. Very scary.

Reliable employer
Output Controls Clerk/Data Processing (Former Employee), Kohler, WI –
Pros: working independently.
Cons: not much room for advancement.
Arriving promptly and monitoring computer output, directing to appropriate staff. I learned alot about computers. Management was not very involved. Co-workers were fun during shift overlapping. The hardest part of the job was that it was boring and not much exposure to the public. The most enjoyable part of the job was working independently

Faced paced environment without all the stress.
Packaging Engineer (Current Employee), Kohler, WI –
Pros: top of the line bathroom fixtures.
Cons: limited opportunity for advancement.
It is rare to find a job where everyday you enjoy walking through the doors because it's like a second home without feeling like a job.

Large privately held company. Hard to make changes.
Supervisor (Current Employee), Huntsville, AL –
Pros: autonomy
Cons: slow to change
Kohler is generally a good company to work for, but it is very slow to make changes and often loses sight of plants that are going above and beyond to maintain or grow profitability.

Hard work with no heating or air.
Part Detailer (Former Employee), Brownwood, Tx –
Pros: i loved my job and the people i worked around.
Cons: not a union.
I loved working for Kohler, but with it not being a union it was unfair to me. I work hard and was a great a job I enjoyed. Since Kohler was not a union, they did not let you keep you job by how well you did it. They only kept the people that had been there the longest when the layoff's started rolling in.
