      Adhesives Division Has a Lot Going for It

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (I worked as a temporary, contract employee in Rocky Hill, CT) Henkel has: >> plenty of bright, hardworking people in leadership positions' >> a very impressive product line in industrial adhesives/lubricants and similar products (Loctite is the most recognizable brand in the Adhesives division, but the multinational company also sells Health/Beauty and Laundry/Home Care products -- but it's Adhesives at Rocky Hill.) >> good working conditions; employees are well-treated >> competitive pay (for the tiny segment of the industry that I'm familiar with, anyway) >> in general, the deadlines for big projects are reasonable

      Cons

      >> sometimes corporate structure/policy can seem overly strict, with little room for creativity. (this company was founded in Germany) >> as with many companies these days, the main objective seems to be to keep the shareholders happy; the company is cutting back on marketing and eliminating 100 jobs in North America despite shown good growth in a down market, simply because the growth didn't match the goal set by top corporate officials.

      Little to no room to advance. Management sets unrealistic expectations. No formal training is given. Constant upper management change over. MICRO MANAGED.

      Once a great company!

      Pros

      Great product lines and good R&D.

      Cons

      During the Loctite years, it was a great company with a great culture. In the last several years, Henkel out of Germany, has created a revolving door atmosphere where "profits" are the only thing that matters it seems. Only MBA's are considered for upper management jobs and many of those are people who are out of touch with what the "real" customers want. The headquarters in CT is extremely "cliquey" and, if you don't fit into one of the thriving cliques, you don't have a chance to succeed. It used to be a great "Team Environment" but most of those people have now moved on and it is an MBA Riddled Political Nightmare now!
