Pros

The company has a great brand portfolio of products that are either number 1 or number 2 in that category.

Cons

Management is definitely incompetent and employees are not always valued as assets of the company. The culture is definitely not diverse and it is very difficult to be coached for success. Employees to perform well are not always treated fairly or praised for their successes. They are also revamping their organization which inevitably leads to layoffs...definitely not a high level of job security. Multiple mills have shut down and entire departments outsourced (HR, IT, etc.).

Pros

K-C is a company with a large line of products and is well positioned to capitalize on most of these products. This is a company with a great work/life balance. Managers are very understanding of family needs and are more than willing to help in times of distress. Most of the people are very friendly and easy to work with. There is good collaboration between mills. There is opportunity to change careers withing K-C, however, you must take full responsibility and action for any movement. Overall, I believe K-C is a good company to work for if you are ready and willing to lay down roots in Neenah, WI.

Cons

I felt like early in my career there was little feedback which drastically changed my career progression and left me with little upward mobility. After letting me struggle for about a year, I finally received feedback of my shortcomings but by that time it was a little late. K-C is very financially risk averse. Because of this it can be difficult to push projects through, however, K-C is very willing to listen to any good idea.

Pros

Kimberly-Clark provides good pay and decent benefits. THey are especially lenient with time off. The coop program has historically been strong too. I can say the people are very nice and the comany has always done business honestly. This is a great place to to start a career in engineering or IT. You do get very good initial experienxce. The company is good about giving you opportunities to reloate and will usually promote you quicker is you move.

Cons

Poor career development to say the least.
