It's not about effort, but who you know at Henkel

Pros

Good starting salary once you're off temp status, plenty of work

Cons

People with family connections to supervisors/managers are given preferential treatment. Shift leads are too young to be in such a demanding role; the one I worked with spent most of his time outside smoking cigarettes; another kid sat in an air conditioned office watching You Tube videos for most of his shift.Training was about as poor as I'd ever experienced, and opportunities were next to zero if you weren't related to a supervisor or manager.
