Nice place to work

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
No real long term employment expectations, temporary contracts for a 24-month period. It would be great to work here if there was some chance of a full-time contract, colleagues are friendly and to work is straight forward.

If you can't handle change, this job won't be a good fit.

Never know from one day or hour to the next what you will be doing. Does not have a solid documented training program. Operators are being moved ontonequipment they have no training on. You learn from mistakes/tribal knowledge. This sets people up for failure. Constantly restructuring leadership, I have yet to have the same supervisor for more than 1yr. No clear defined polices, except for attendance. Other than thats it's easy work and the pay is decent. Very generous with vacation time.

Ótima empresa ,mas as pessoas que administram são péssimas no Brasil

A empresa é maravilhosa no tocante a pagamento em dia, porém péssima na gestão de pessoas e incentivos aos colaboradores, poucas as pessoas têm acesso a realmente os benefícios que são descritos, sempre vi pessoas competentes que infelizmente não puderam crescer porque não tinha QI "quem indica", método de muito grupelho de elite.RH apático, muito ineficaz, fazem o papel de advogado que recebe propina, viagem não ver o que acontece.

Pros

REFEIÇÕES

Cons

Sem cesta básica, sem ajuda de custo combustível, convênio médico pago, tudo descontado....

Don't work here

this is a bad place to work. when it comes to raises they will look for every chance to not give you a review or raise. or take months to even acknowledge. Working mandatory 6 days a week and taking away your holidays. the management has minimal clue of how to do your job. All machines are outdated cant get the tools you need to work. Management doesnt listen to the floor about making our jobs easier. Am injured right now, and they want me to over exert the part of my body thats already injured.

Pros

none.

Cons

poor management, mandatory ot, taking your holidays away

High stress environment

Find ways to keep your peace. Managers will talk to you unprofessional and expect you to stay professional. You will need to not be sensitive because there’s always unnecessary stress.

Great place to work

It's a great company to work for.Great benefits.Lots of growth opportunities if you show initiative you'll grow. They take safety very seriously. Only thing I didn't like there was mandatory overtime.

Positive Culture Company That Puts Its Frontline People First

Great company values that have been cascaded down by local leadership. There are many examples of the company being transparent in operation while still ensuring bottom-line targets are met so that the company can compete in the market. Locally, a lot of plant activities are scheduled throughout the year to engage/show appreciation) to all plant personnel (summer games, Service Award dinner at Loveland Aquarium, Plant Day for families, Lagoon, etc).Also, very good company culture with a lot of cross-functional teamwork to resolve issues. Corporate has invested heavily at the current site in state-of-the-art equipment and has plans to continue. This has provided new opportunities for employees to learn new skills and advance their career. Great place to start and grow a career, especially with Henkels tuition reimbursement benefits.

Pros

Tuition reimbursement; Product giveaways; Inclusive corporate summer games participation

Ok pay

Plant leadership and upper management are so detached from the employees they do not know what is going on outside of their offices. They lead from behind their desks. Poor morale, depending on what area you work in you may have more than one boss. In the warehouse we have 4 bosses to answer to, way too many chiefs and not enough employees. Often I do more than one person's job and management only cares about getting the job done and not how you do it. They preach one thing and then expect another. It would be a really good place to work if they would get rid of plant leadership and upper management and start over with new people that know how to lead and manage people and departments.

Great pay if you like walking on eggshells

The pay and benefits are decent. there is favoritism with HR and employees. Management and communication are terrible. Sketchy atmosphere. If you enjoy walking on eggshells for zero reason, then this is the place for you. Otherwise it’s an easy job. I don’t think anyone there cared about anything that was going on or any of the employees that wasn’t related to the family and/or close friends running the plant and in HR. I’m unsure if HR gets a bonus for firing people. It sure seems that way because those robots will fire a person over anything and everything. So be aware of that as well. I learned one thing working for Henkel. I learned that when I separated from them, my mental health had improved significantly. The place is draining.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits

Cons

Unreliable upper management/HR, very unorganized

Good company if you have the right sponsor

Good company if you have the right sponsor, heavy workload, very centralized, highly political, finance is not strong enough facing business people, finance structure is a bit strange compared to other modern organizations

Avoid at all costs

The good is the company pays well. As for the bad well that's a very long list. The management is so afraid of losing their job they can't stand up for the workers. The company is more concerned about attendance (I was fired for being sick once and late 4 times due to traffic and weather over an almost 6 month period) than they are about safety (6 employees kept their jobs after violating lock out tag out)

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits

Cons

Bad management, poor work culture, more concerned about attendance than safety

Productive in a fun workplace was lots of things to learn

Pros

Lunch

Cons

Travel

Productive and demanding at times

40 hours a week. must be able to work in a team, and work independently without supervision. The downside is that management may be into politics and cause employee turnover.

Pros

job security if you're really adding value

Cons

understaffed in some cases, below average pay

What is the best part of working at the company?People were great. Opportunity to work with others internationally.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?As a manager, the annual raise process for my staff was brutal and cut throat. When I saw some managers actually enjoying pitting employees against each other, I was sickened. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Lots of great people but, depending on your role, you could find yourself reporting to (literally) distant and disconnected people. It's important to know what it's like to work for a company based in Germany - because that has a lot to do with the overall culture.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Wanting to get things done and support my area, but worried about all the reports and PowerPoint slides I had to focus on for upper management.
