Pros

Cheap health insurance, looks good on a resume if you don’t get stuck in a position for 5+ years watching less competent people promoted over you, they allowed people to work from home during Covid

Cons

You are so underpaid it’s not even funny. Don’t calculate your per hour rate if you’re salaried, because it will make you want to quit instantly. They laid off people and didn’t replace their work anywhere, so those left are doing the best they can to get by. No raises last year but kohler saw profits. Management refuses to hire lower level employees who are just starting out to help with more intricate tasks, so you spend hours organizing things manually. No one cares if you have 8 years of experience and a doctorate degree , you’re not at a certain level so you’re typing words into spreadsheets. Not allowed to take on projects that are actually engaging, because you’re stuck doing time wasting things during work hours and rushing to get emails out late into the night. Maternity leave is a joke- 6 weeks plus 2? Time and time again people leave kohler and instantly make 30,40,50k more than they did.

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
