Pros

401k is good.

Cons

We haven’t had a decent raise since Henkel bought the company. The raises we do get, don’t even cover the cost of living. They have an incentive bonus plan, but it rigged in the company’s favor. Every year they add ridiculous milestones, most of which we have no control over. They understaffed our plant, but they expect the rest of us to pick the extra work.

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.
