Pros

The best reason to work for K-C is to get experience in outsourcing to foreign countries and understanding how you can become a guider vs. a doer.

Cons

The performance rating system that they used was so time consuming that any gains that the upper echelon was sold on went out the door and then some. The system consisted of 9 boxes that you could be placed in. Box 1 meant you were a bad employee, oops I mean you had opportunities, and box 9 meant you were the cream of the crop. The kicker was each box had set percentage people that had to fall in them. At the end it all still boiled down to whether or not your manager liked you or not. Watching the government trying to manage today’s crumbling economy reminds all to much of Tom and upper management of K-C.

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.
