Former Employee – worked at Kimberly-Clark full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Decent salary, lots of projects going on, benefits are good, coworkers help make it feel like a family environment.

Cons – Not very clear on how to get raises and promotions, can get easily pigeonholed into a position. Management tends to tell you one thing in private, then acts a different way in public. Had many experiences with people going directly to senior leadership to get what they wanted done without ever asking their direct supervisor.

Current Employee – been working at Kimberly-Clark full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – If you like a 9 to 5 position, this is nice. The company also offers summer hours. The job is not physically demanding, nor intellectually demanding, the tasks are pretty routine. Allows you to work on your patience (a great virtue) when dealing with consumers who contact you about trivial things.

Cons – Too mundane, at least for me. Doesn't leave room for creativity. If you have a complaint about your position or you want something to change, you may not be successfull. Everything is standardized. No room for creativity.

Pros – Fantastic assembly of people, some of the most iconic brands in the world and, depending on what brand you work for, the ability to independently manage a large swath of the business

Cons – Location relative to other CPG companies is not optimal and for 2-3 brands the amount of layered over-staffing can be stifling.

Advice to Senior Management – Less interference is better, however I've never worked at a company whose people, from the CEO to the Admin, had as much passion for what they do and so much personality doing it
