Low Morale & No Open Communication with Vendors

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is good; along with the benefits package.

Cons

With the acquisition of Sun Products Corporation to Henkel, the company has been plagued with system, production, transportation issues, and little to no communication for permanent solutions to persistent problems. Morale has been low since the acquisition with multiple department layoffs and little to no acknowledgement by middle management or higher that departments and/or locations are making the company work as best they can with limited resources and head count. Multiple people are used locally to "fix" issues that have been created by offices globally, but layoffs continue to happen in the U.S.

Horrible company managers

Business Outlook

Pros

Good coworkers, plant smells nice

Cons

Corporate HR are total clowns that lie to lure employee's in. Benefits, bonuses, raises and other things are shorted or non existent for long term employees. We thought things should get better when Henkel purchased Sun products but they have only been worse. HR management is toxic to employee moral. Avoid this company at all cost!!!!

Disappointing in so many ways

Finance manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High expectations coming to Henkel given the diverse products array. Family Company atmosphere would be great if they followed those principles.

Cons

Extreme organization to the detriment of the business. Management suffocates the employee. Very rigid and inflexible structure. No regard for the team or contributions of non management.
