Work. Play. Live. A Balanced Life working for Whirlpool.


As with any successful business, Whirlpool focuses on meeting and exceeding customer expectations day in and day out. However, Whirlpool also realizes that a balanced life is important for the health and well-being of its employees. We also want our people to enjoy the many social and recreational opportunities that abound in our local communities.

Whirlpool communities are typically located outside of cities in smaller towns, giving our employees a combination of city convenience and small-town living. Our employees can enjoy a short commute to work, and a short drive to major cities and cultural hotspots. To learn about the advantages of working in such a community, click here.

Living and Working in Southwest Michigan

Home to Whirlpool Headquarters

 

Many Whirlpool employees have the opportunity to work at Whirlpool's global headquarters nestled in the heart of Southwest Michigan along the coast of Lake Michigan. Not only do Whirlpool's headquarters facilities offer a comfortable work environment, but the area offers a wealth of recreational activities from boating to concerts.

Living in Southwest Michigan offers the best of both worlds. If you enjoy the entertainment options that a large metropolis has to offer, cities such as Chicago and Detroit are within driving distance. Living and working in a less populated area close to these cities brings with it benefits such as short commutes and a safe living environment. Being in this smaller community will give you a sense of family, where it is easy to integrate yourself into the culture and activities that abound the area.

Over the past several years, Whirlpool has infused its organization with young and talented individuals who live, work and play in Southwest Michigan. These individuals have become active members of the community who have grown to know and love the area around our headquarters. We also offer many fantastic opportunities for employees to interact with each other in social situations from sports leagues to company picnics.
