Fast track your career trajectory in the Real Whirled Sales Development Program by interacting in a variety of professional settings as you gain exposure to the Whirlpool business. Spend about two to three years gaining a strong foundation in our brands, sales strategy, merchandising approach and operations. Real Whirled Alumni advance into roles in field sales, channel sales, operations, sales enablement, direct-to-consumer sales, merchandising, brand and product marketing, and beyond.

The first three months of the program are at our global headquarters in Southwest Michigan and our World of Whirlpool location in Chicago, IL. During training, we provide free housing in a unit with top‑of‑the‑line Whirlpool appliances, a cooking stipend, conference travel, factory tours, cooking demos with our corporate chef and more. After the immersive training period, participants relocate for about 12–18 months to a carefully selected sales territory across the country.

For the second and final rotation, participants will have the option to return to Benton Harbor, MI or to another field-based role for about 12–18 months.

During training, participants learn about Whirlpool’s brands, products, consumers, and how we go to market.

Participants apply their training insights as Territory Sales Representatives (TSRs). TSRs are the primary face of Whirlpool Corporation and our many iconic brands within the accounts they manage. Each TSR is responsible for managing 30+ retail stores in a dedicated geographical territory, cultivating relationships with retail partners and field leadership, and collaborating to drive strategic initiatives for increased rates of recommendation, sales, and market share of brand products.
