Kimberly-Clark

Workers who have been there 10+ yrs have not received a raise in that time.  New workers given an incentive of $1000 signing bonus. I have been there 3.5 yrs and this pay for progression has given me a whole $0.19 raise because i have learned a couple of things on the equipment which i find insultung.  This means in another 2.5 yrs i will earn enough to equal the new signing bonuses given out right now.
Couple that with not getting an annual cost of living raise means that my spending potential has dropped about 5% since i have started.  Add that to minimum wage going up $1.00 since I started.  This basically means that i am $1.00 closer to minimum wage instead of going the other direction in my earning potential.
10 yrs ago the wages were about $15 higher then minimum wage with annual cost of living raises.  Now the wages are only $5.50 higher then minimum wage.  With this company being a fortune 500 company i guess the shareholders annual increase of 6+% is more important then the workers who make the product.
Because of all this instead if having 3 days off between shifts a lot of the new workers including myself have to work 2- 3 days part time to make ends meet.
If i was to work in a kc plant in the usa my salary would be almost $5.00/ hr more in USD.

The Kimberly Clark workplace is a great place to work, I find the the pay is way more than fair for the work that is expected of you, you get time and a half anytime you work an extra day, the 44 hours of work before overtime does not apply here, you'll get overtime on every Sunday worked as per schedule and every unscheduled Sunday is paid in double time, triple time is paid every stat day ( double time + 1 time and free unpaid day ). the Nightly and weekend premiums range from $1 - $2 extra an hour depending what night shift it is. If you happen to not be happy with something they will try their best to accommodate you, and in my case they did within a few weeks. Some people are hard to work with but others are amazing just like any other workplace. Management is incredibly helpful and I find that the higher up the chain you go the better the assistance you'll receive.  The breaks here are great, you get one 30 minute lunch and two 20 minute breaks before and after ( 1 hour and 50 minutes in total ), there is a free one site gym for anyone in your family to use 24/7 it has 3 cable machines, free weights, stationary bikes and treadmills. When it comes to the pension you contribute 1-10% and the company will match it up to 5% and add an additional 3% meaning the total could equal up to 18% of what you make. The benefits are amazing. I went into this job thinking that I would one day leave and follow my dream but I am honestly incredibly happy here and might stay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
- good medical benefits 
- 3 days on , 3 days off

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This is an equal opportunity, employment place. No matter how hard you work you will not be able to climb the ladder any quicker than the person in front of you. Hard work does not prevail at this business anymore. It’s more like let the new people do all the work 
 while the people with more seniority do
 absolutely nothing. If you are a person that has been raised with work ethic, you will find it very difficult to work at this company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like any other job or factory. There is all different types of clicks. But that is like anywhere in life.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a new employee within the first year. Don’t plan on having many breaks. You’ll run until your shift is over with minimal stopping time for water and food.

It was a fun place to work with great co-workers I am still close with. There was a lot of work but it was satisfying when you finished it. It felt like a family with my co-workers. I saw people move up to head office who were hard-working team players giving their 100% every shift. It has an HR department who does interviews for jobs in head office so you can't move up without having the right skills. Getting promoted to head office is the same as it is at any job you work at but people who didn't get promoted will leave negative reviews cause they are bitter about not getting it. Don't get fooled by them. I recommend it as a fun retail job for students or anyone else who loves fashion and customer service.

Typical work day: try to kiss the feet of management and favorites to stay out of trouble

Learned to: stay quiet and praise the favorites or be punished

Management: cares about nothing will always side with the 20-25 favorites no matter how terrible they are

Workplace culture: pathetic, favorites get away with everything, everyone else is constantly on edge worrying about being punished

The hardest part of the job: staying out of trouble when being blatantly targeted by the favorites

The most enjoyable part of the job: going home

Putting in 60 hours a week was the norm with no comp time, pay, or appreciation.

I am an Engineer.

The only way to advance in the company is to move between the mills and corporate. I had to leave because they were transferring me.

This was the worst job of my career.

First it was too long hiring process.

Too much work load.

Bad and too much politics in the management.

No com or overtime for extra work.

you have to transfer from mill to corporate offices.

The worst part about this company is ONLY WHITE CULTURE.
They will promote only white.

It use to he the best place to work at but unfortunately it has a few in management that have caused a toxic workplace. There are many good people there but you're often watched and pushed to meet production numbers yet they are way beyond safety rules.to.yhe point where it seems you're authoritarian regime. And if you're not liked by some team leaders they'll push you out. Also a lot of American upper management have come and gone just to get ahead in yhe company up here and gp back on a better position in the US. 
Hopefully it changes and gets better.

I've been at KC for 3 1/2 years, and believe strongly that the company treats employees far better than average in the manufacturing industry.  My experience with other employers has been that not all have the same commitment to safety and not all try to do their best for their employees.  We might not get everything right 100% of the time, but there is a genuine interest in doing everything possible to be an employer of choice.  Pay and benefits are better than average, and the company has a great pension program.

A single day will start with several meetings with leaders from several areas in order to review several topics about controls in their proccesses and to keep them getting more efficiente and less time-consuming without avoiding any Corporate requirements.

Also, I will conduct several reviews (via Computer or In-situm) in order to evaluate control environment

kimberly clark kenya was geared towards professionalism in its operations. A typical day at work would involve reminders on safe machine operations procedures, reminders on working in a clean environment, reminders on using personal protective equipment and following Kaizen rules. Overally, Kimberly Clark Kenya is a great place to work in
