Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We wish you had a better experience while you were at Evonik. Although eight hours of overtime is built into the work schedule every other week, additional overtime is usually rare. However, we have had some additional overtime due to absences related to COVID-19. Thankfully, this is decreasing as the case count is dropping. We appreciate the dedication of our employees who stepped in to fill vacant positions. Our production employees undergo a very detailed training program and can advance through nine different wage progression steps. Our shifts follow the traditional 3-2-2-3 style common at most manufacturing employers in the region. We are proud to be one of the highest-paying employers in the area, and we have found that many employees love the flexibility that working only seven out of 14 days provides. In addition, we have a new site manager who has made great efforts to build a positive team culture! We encourage you to send details about your concerns to employerbranding@evonik.com so we can further improve.

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.
