Pros

Global company with international opportunities, solid portfolio of brands across HPC categories. A lot of effort being made to upgrade internal marketing training and development for new hires in brand management. A fairly well-developed stage-gate process has started to pay dividends in innovation as increased personnel and financial resources are being allocated to deliver meaningful innovation to the marketplace across the portfolio of brands. Woek/life balance is great as vacation time is generous with an allowance to purchase more if so desired. Though work starts early (7:30 am), folks get off around 2:30pm every Friday to enoy the mostly great weather.

Cons

Typically, during the transition from Dial to Henkel performance metrics, promotions have been linked more closely to tenure than performance though efforts are being made to correct this.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
