Pros
-Decent Pay & Benefits (for some employees) - Good work and life balance - Large company, able to withstand poor economic climate due to many international locations, except when the CFO doesn't completely misread the economic business outlook.
Cons
- Former Whirlpool employees are treated better and with much more salary / promotion potential than employees from other backgrounds. Beware of this. -Managers were put in roles because they worked for Whirlpool, not because they are competent managers. These managers are continuously allowed not respond to emails or even say hello to people in the hallways (contributing directly to the poor company leadership and culture). - Legacy managers are allowed to continue their poor leadership practices and vengeful behaviors without repercussion. - Company culture promotes constant fighting and unnecessary/unhealthy competition between the groups instead of working together for common goals. - Diversity and Seclusion - Diversity is so extreme that it creates a negative impact on the working environment and culture. Multiple languages are allowed to be spoken which create walls and silos within teams and groups. Diversity is a good thing, but Electrolux has allowed it to create seclusion, not healthy inclusion. - The Springfield building and grounds are not physically maintained like other business locations. - Smokers are allowed to continually stand on the roadside around the building causing not only a huge safety hazard but an overall negative appearance to the company.
