Bureaucracy on the beach. - GIS Analyst Whirlpool Corporation Employee Review

Pros

Whirlpool is a fairly ethical company. With its base in the Midwest, it has deep roots in old-school American values and fair treatment of its employees. Salaries seem to be fairly high with great benefits packages, especially when you realize how cheap it is to live in Benton Harbor or Saint Joseph, Michigan, which are located right on the lake with spectacular sunsets and beaches.

Cons

Internal communications (especially globally) are weak. This causes duplicated effort and silos of work influence. It is also pretty difficult to get a lot of changes made -- Whirlpool is not a very agile company.

Pros

Strong brand recognition and quality products. A bunch of great people.

Cons

Cult-like relationships: if you didn't grow up in Benton Harbor...Your boss did. I was recruited based on more than 25 years of multifamily housing experience and long-standing industry relationships. After joining, I discovered a substantial portion of my responsibilities involved government and commercial laundry accounts, which were not my area of expertise and were not what I expected from the interview process. The company appeared to place greater emphasis on standardized account management than leveraging established customer relationships and industry networks. For professionals hired because of their market knowledge and connections, this may be frustrating.
