Pros

Good pay, great health benefits, pretty good opportunities for job rotation. It's fun to work with other cultures, and from a retail perspective we have some of the biggest and best in the country. People early in their career can learn a lot and easily jump to other companies in the future.

Cons

Despite all the pros, the cons are winning the battle right now. Leadership is trying hard to "cut their way to the top" and turnover is accelerating. Workloads are increasing for everyone and morale is declining. HQ in Germany doesn't value experience or insights from the regional offices; they just want us to execute on their decisions. Too bad really. Oh, and I can't forget the forced-ranked annual review process. Popular in the 80s, I can't understand why Germany loves it so much. Definitely a morale killer.

Pros

The ability to learn on the job training by other experienced Maint Electricians is definitely a benefit.

Cons

Trying to grasp all the different technical terms used internally by the Henkel Maint team is a huddle I have to overcome.
