Pros

401k and very nice office

Cons

Germany makes all of the decisions for all regions. Which has proven to be a disaster for the North American market. Thus far their businesses in NA are consistently trending downward. The lack of communication there is the worst I've experienced in my career. There are several people that I have met that going to be leaving due to the poor work environment. Pay raises are well below the average. A 2% pay raise is the best a employee can achieve. A director explained to me that Henkel is an excellent company to work for if you keep your head down, shut up and collect your paycheck but Henkel isn't for someone who has ideas to bring about a positive change to make things better. STEER CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!!!!
