Pros

There is some flexibility to work hours allowed (start and end time), depending on position. Henkel is a large stable company.

Cons

Too large of workload for existing employees. Work not appreciated. Certain policies and benefits advertised in interview are not given once you are employed (working at home, training, paid education). Very little investment in employees, yet high expectations. Small or no raise each year. Reviewed against peers annually in such a way that teamwork and helping others is discouraged.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
