Pros

Work life balance. Investment in employees to succeed. Several additional benefits on top of salary which only increases an employee's overall compensation.

Cons

Henkel is a German owned company and many of the European leadership come to the US and want to run the business like they do in Europe. They don't have a strong understanding of US retail. This often times makes for a difficult working environment, always having to explain why an item was accepted or not. It also means we do not spend enough on advertising, data sources, etc to support our products.

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.
