Pros

The pay is okay and competitive

Cons

Over worked. Prepare to have no work life balance and expected to work 40-60 hours a week no extra comp. Management creates fear and walk people out to fire them. It’s always secretive.

Pros

Full time B&P workers work together but management makes decisions that affect workers and don’t seem to actually know how the hard work and process that is used to complete task without the correct machinery maintenance and tools that are not available to workers they have no idea what is happening in production or act loke they dont know so the workers look bad and not management.

Cons

Under paid, unorganized, poor management, no communication, no ethics from management, if you do not hide their mess and don't speak the truth you will have career opportunities , but if you speak out the truth you don’t have any opportunity in advancing.

Pros

GBS+ Manila Henkel is indeed one of the greatest place to work. Work arrangement, benefits, compensation, and environment really brings out the best in people.

Cons

Honestly, the floor can be a touch bit too cold sometimes!
