Best place I have worked

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Whirlpool

Proshours are easy, tuition reimbursement, benefits, bonuses, pay.

Conssome people can be difficult to work with, but that is not the company's fault. somewhat high turnover with contractors

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep it going in the right direction, stay new with technology.

great company that does things right the first time

Sales Development Representative (Current Employee)
Chicago, IL (US)

I have been working at Whirlpool full-time for more than a year

ProsThis company really cares about people. There is a drive to succeed and win in three marketplace but that seems to come second to caring for people. The company makes world class products as well. The company always treats its employees well and as long as employers are happy whirlpool will thrive. This company will be a world leader for another 100 years. Work life balance is excellent. They care more about you getting your work done than the hours you put in.

ConsAll roads lead to Benton harbor mi. that is the only major downfall of whirlpool

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Fast Pace In The Whirlpool In Greenville, Ohio

Assembler (Former Employee)
Greenville, OH (US)

I worked at Whirlpool as a contractor for less than a year

ProsThe pay is good for employees that can stay with the job for several years. Temporaries from Kelly start at $10.25 an hour. The average assembler makes $12.40 and the team leaders make $16.50 an hour. The work areas are very clean and organised.

ConsThe KitchenAid Hand Mixers are assembled and tested by teams of six workers and one is completed every 30 seconds so you have to concentrate on the job you are assigned so this is not for people that don't have a serious attitude about assembly work.

Advice to Senior ManagementI am gratefull that Whirpool management brought the Kitchen Aid Hand Mixer production back from China and encourage them to do all Whirlpool production here in our country.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
