Henkel, N.A.

Pros

Some nice people work there, but many leave after 6 months or so of working here - once they gain an idea of the corporate culture

Cons

No loyalty to its employees - many are fearful of losing their job at any time; Many good people are "let go" for no sound reason, other than the whim of management; About 4o% of employee base are on "performance plans" to ensure that Henkel can let them go at any time; Management is not always open to new, innovative ways of doing business - especially former Dial employees (many intimidated by those who have worked for other CPG companies); German leadership is not present enough for sound business decisions to be made; lose many "good" professionals in their field because of the lack of solid leadership with a vision for future growth and new ideas; Due to the corporate culture, many people are "out for themselves" because there is no loyalty to employees and their hard work; Company morale is low!
