Bay Point going to the dumps, dump the workforce and start over!

Senior operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to be a good place to work, last 7 years has been a consistent decline and it's not getting better.

Cons

This site has an ungrateful, uninspired, selfish, immature, non loyal, deceitful, and worthless work force. This site has an HR that has its own agenda which picks and chooses who and when they'll support. This same HR is never available especially at critical times and uses "legal" as a way to either stall a decision or eliminate disciplinary actions so that the same worthless workforce can get away with murder. This site has an upper management team that has no relationship or history with its workforce with the main goal of the bottom line. The scared Mid level management is in complete disarray with several different managing styles and no support from above.

Good global exposure but too political in key activities

Market development manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good company reputation and strong brand image to industrial customers - Global exposure is high enough if you're working on some high visibility program - Working-life balance

Cons

- Change too much in recent years. Henkel has gradually lost it's core value and competitive advantages in the market since the high frequent changes happened too much. - Insufficient leadership in director & VP level managers. Everybody is waiting for the top-down order from top manager - Too political in handling business development, strategic planning, and go-to-market plans. Everybody is telling story rather than getting hands dirty and doing something really helpful to the business - Not competitive salary level comparing to foreign companies in China - Not so many smart people around you; not come joining this company if you can't tolerate mediocre colleagues
