Great work/life balance but lacking US understanding

Pros

Work life balance. Investment in employees to succeed. Several additional benefits on top of salary which only increases an employee's overall compensation.

Cons

Henkel is a German owned company and many of the European leadership come to the US and want to run the business like they do in Europe. They don't have a strong understanding of US retail. This often times makes for a difficult working environment, always having to explain why an item was accepted or not. It also means we do not spend enough on advertising, data sources, etc to support our products.

Pros

People generally nice and professional. Nice work place with onsite gym, athletic fields. Some opportunity for international experience if wanted and you are in the right department. Benefits and salary average to good

Cons

Almost impossible to get things done as every decision requires multiple levels of approval. Management structure way too complex - too many chiefs. Organizational changes poorly communicated. Systems in place are out of date and overly complicated. No succession planning.
