      Pros

      Company success prior 2018. Location.

      Cons

      Current management of the company treats employees as disposable objects. Company lost close to 60 employees in the last 2 years, most of which left by themselves since they did not see any promising future within Evonik. No professional grow for many, no salaries increase compatible with inflation in the region and annual bonuses nothing but a joke. People got tired of it and leave in a search of better options. The company upper management relies on two principles -Nepotism and Despotism. Some of those who is on the top of the chain have a very limited professional knowledge in the field they try to manage and huge ego. This company has no future, unless something drastically changes on the top of it. Stay away from this company and you will be better off.

      Pros

      Pay is good, bonuses are low, benefits have decreased every year Lunch in cafeteria is great Shift relief time was good, had enough time after work to be with family We sure miss Bonnie out there , she’s great.

      Cons

      Micromanaging - Extreme lack of trust Overall morale for the whole site is way down starting from 2018 Bias Backstabbing Incompetency - certain employees promoted to next level without actually knowing or understanding the process No work life balance, we’re told that doesn’t apply to production workers. Overtime hours avg 400-700 hours a year No room for employee growth or thoughts on process productivity/troubleshooting acknowledged if you’re not in the clique 3-2-2-3 shift schedule swapping from nights to day each time led to overall fatigue. Needs to be 2 weeks of nights and 2 weeks of days. HR is an overall joke, they used to be superb until COVID and the new site manager. Preach safety but turn a blind eye when it’s convenient to reach production. Then fault the operators or maintenance personnel if something happens.
