Pros

Some nice people work there, but many leave after 6 months or so of working here - once they gain an idea of the corporate culture

Cons

No loyalty to its employees - many are fearful of losing their job at any time; Many good people are "let go" for no sound reason, other than the whim of management; About 4o% of employee base are on "performance plans" to ensure that Henkel can let them go at any time; Management is not always open to new, innovative ways of doing business - especially former Dial employees (many intimidated by those who have worked for other CPG companies); German leadership is not present enough for sound business decisions to be made; lose many "good" professionals in their field because of the lack of solid leadership with a vision for future growth and new ideas; Due to the corporate culture, many people are "out for themselves" because there is no loyalty to employees and their hard work; Company morale is low!

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
