      Work here until you decide what to do with your life

      Pros

      Benefits Decent over time pay

      Cons

      I was told I was going to be working 40 hours a week with Friday's off and I was looking forward to that schedule but once I got hired I started working 50-60 hours a week because of mandatory overtime and this has been going on for two years almost consistently. Although, there has been attempts to lessen the load and the amount of over time worked there has been little to no progress in doing so. If you have no life than this might be a good place for you.

      Turnover/work culture

      Mixer operator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are pretty good if you last long enough to use them.

      Cons

      They dont care atvall about the employees having a life outside of work. They have us working 6 days a week 10 hours a day and they want more out of us. They act as if holidays are a priveledge and not a right. There is almost no (productive) communication between shifts-management, leads, supervisors. The turnnover rate is like 1-1 the point system is based on a 5 day 40 hour week and not adjusted to reflect a 6 day 60 hour week. Management just dont care people call in because they are burnt out and tired and frankly its almost the only way to get a day off from time to time. This is held against us. You dont get more productivity by forcing people to work more. And during meetings people are afraid to speak up so nobody says anything. Bit you hear ot in the breakroom and locker room and on the production floor. Morale is low and employees arent happy. They have emplyees that are barely and poorly trained,Training the new employees

      Top heavy, Diversity & culture misunderstood

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Great colleagues Good benefits Established company Handled Covid well for employees - employment protection, care packages etc.

      Cons

      To move up, you will benefit if you are German and/or Male Little to no understanding of "diversity". Still measure number of female employees as the key diversity measure. For Americans, this is archaic. HR serves other vendors of the company than the employees or the company itself. No central repository of career plan, ratings etc. Upward mobility is solely tied to networking and perceptions

      First of all, we want to thank you for your time as a part of our team. For more than 8 years, you have discovered that we at Henkel offer more than jobs. Thus, we are pleased that you have appreciated your colleagues as well as the various benefits we have offered you. The impressions you described in your review already give us a first idea, but we would be grateful if you were able to describe in more detail how we can promote the development of our employees even better in the future. Therefore, if you approach your former contact in the HR department, we are confident that we will be able to improve in this respect. Best regards, Your Henkel Team
