Pros

The only good thing about this place used to be really good, were the set schedules, and long weekends.

Cons

Worked for the company sun products. Recently Henkel bought out Sun. Then started making drastic negative changes to a company that didn’t need them. Under staffed, the company is still laying off a whole lot more staff. All while making the people who are currently employed suffer with an unrealistic heavy work load, and mandatory over time. All while not giving you any raises in pay. They also penalize you for using your call off benefits. Now you have to use your vacation hours or lose them at the end of the year. But good luck using your vacation hours since they don’t have enough coverage (due to them getting rid of employees, or employees leaving because they refuse to be treated like crap by Henkel) to cover your shift while you’re on vacation, they mostly deny your vacation. They preach safety regulations, yet will will demand you do the job of 3 people, and over work you. Can’t really move to a better position or transfer around If you have a write up, or your area is short staffed.
