Pros

Flexible working time Lots of home office Easy work Very decent colleagues within Henkel Slovensko Truly ethical company and honestly trying to be sustainable. Good place to work if you have kids/other family you need to care for, planning for maternity leave, etc.

Cons

Menial work - this is a Service Center, despite what management keeps telling you. Not a good place to start a career. As onboarding, they sit you behind your PC, you watch corporate videos for a few days and then click away day after day with no end. It must be truly depressing to think this all work can be (it is not). People from the “real” Henkel tend to treat your with little respect or even as a servant. Almost everyone is reluctant to talk back to them (because they are the ones sending us work). There is no career progress to speak of - you can become a senior, but that just means you get to decide how the boring work is going to be done. For an engineer with any creativity this is a dead end. Salaries are kept as low as possible, inflation was completely ignored.

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.
