Pros

Henkel is very profitable, and is very loyal to their employees. Benefits are good, and opportunities are there if you are committed.

Cons

Raises are getting worse every year, and the ability to change is slow even for a big company.

Pros

Co-Workers were nice, facility is nice.

Cons

Corporate changes without any respect or compassion for local workforce. Much is said about caring for the employees but actions speak louder than words. I would not recommend Henkel to anybody.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits including flexi time. Most people are very nice to work with.

Cons

Career advancement is not based on skill and/or expertise but rather on how you are perceived... very image driven. As long as you stroke your bosses ego and keep management happy, you will do well. Hard work and loyalty are not rewarded, resulting in a highly demotivated workforce. A lot of micro management and a lack of trust. Current employee review process is a joke and does nothing for morale, resulting in high turnover of staff. A lot of processes need improvement. It’s time management wakes up and start listening to their direct reports.
