Pros

- #1 is the people. Although so much talent has left KC, there are still some wonderful people left. - Parking is good

Cons

- Senior mgmt is completely out of touch, yet they try so hard to make you believe they care. Pathetic. - Lower level managers try to please their bosses to be the next "pet". - SO much talent has left this company it is truly sad. Experience is not valued. - Company has been on a 8 year cost savings journey that now has come to "Burn the Furniture". - The next step to save money is to implement new pay standards to become "competitive". This is easily seen as cutting salaries and benefits. - Performance Management system that continues to kill morale while wasting tons of time. - Senior leadership views employees as a number, a headcount, and not a person. You can be replaced and you may be soon.

Pros

Work life balance is very good. Opportunity to engage with senior leadership in interesting projects. The collaboration and camaraderie is top tier! The investment into employees is amazing.

Cons

While I love remote work, it can feel isolating to some. It's not for everyone. I find ways to connect with my team and others at Kimberly-Clark. I also do a good job of managing my time and focus. However, if you struggle in those areas a remote job is not the way to go.
