Kimberly-Clark reviews

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.

The downside is actually the same thing I listed as a best reason to work for KC! KC's conservative nature tends to be a negative in regards to timeliness in making necessary changes to keep up with the market and in keeping up with technology. The lack of competence in IT is a real thorn in my side!!
