Pros

Kimberly Clark isn't laying off the workers as of yet. We still have good business and sales are great. If you you have been there over 15 years you make pretty good money.

Cons

We have gone from not paying anything for our insurance to paying out the butt. They continue to cut our benifits. Clothing allowance went 160 to 80 no longer offer us to buy an extra week vacation what was called FLEX DAYS and said they took that away because they were having to backfill those jobs when they don't let anybody work any overtime so that's WRONG. We used to be able to come in and work on our career plans and also help out on the floor wherever needed. Most people take a major cut in pay to come to Loudon Mill and that used to be ok because we could come in and work overtime to make up for the lost wages. All the new management has done since they have been here is take away or fire people. Loudon HAD a TEAM CONCEPT but now we don't really have any say so in anything. They being Management have took what we at Loudon have worked 20 years to accomplish, (career plans, the way things are handled, vacation coverage, sick leave coverage, and etc.) and thrown it out the door. They say if don't like it here, go find you another job. They don't seem to care about their employees at all anymore. Can't say I would tell anybody it's a good place to work anymore. Used to love going to work and now that's all changed.

Pros

Use to be decent pay and benefits. Use to be able to have an oppurtunity for advancement in career. Had flexibility in time off for different reasons.

Cons

No good morale left and management (SO CALLED ----LEADERSHIP) doesn't care at all. They tell you that "if you don't like it, go somewhere else to work." They have done nothing to build onto what Loudon has been about and accomplished for 18 years. Since their arrival, they have done nothing but take things and jobs away from the employees and are very "just numbers" oriented. They have not shown any concern toward employee morale or how they feel about their employment at KC. They have a track record of reducing workforce and increasing the stress and hatred of working for KC Loudon. They are so blinded by just focusing on numbers and cost, that they have not even noticed that their real success is in the people. PEOPLE ARE A COMPANY'S BEST ASSETS. They will lie to you about reasons for decisions being made and blame it on the corporation. "Like we are that damn stupid." The CEO (C_ries E_very O_ppurtunity) whines about not meeting expectations and decides to eliminate jobs and people wellfare and lives that they have put into the company, and what does he personally do? HE AND HIS EXECs POCKET THERE MONEY IN BONUSES, be it in stock and options or cash. He acts like KC is being too good to their employees in their benefits and compensation, so they reduce it and blame it on the economy and act like they are being more competitive with other companies by comparison. Well, lets look at THEIR benefits and compensation compared to those same companies and see if they are in the same light. Senior management for KC seems to be setting examples for the leadership at Loudon, they only seem to care about their own wellfare and pockets.
