Pros

Somewhat ok job to have while you are looking for another job

Cons

Management is 100 percent concerned with production and has no regard for their workers safety. Even though the production floor has stood up and fought for representation, henkel is still up to their old tricks. Incorrect paychecks, an HR department you can't get ahold of, production managers who lie to your face, the list goes on. And not to mention a temporary employee was ripped limb from limb and died and they still wanted production to keep going. This place should be condemned and 2 out of the 4 supervisors should be fired for putting their employees at risk. Ask about the time we had no water in the plant with no eye wash stations and no fire sprinklers but we're nice enough to fill a drum up with water and said just use payliners to spread the water if you have to.

Pros

Worldwide company in over 40 countries which gives you global presence. Our hair-care products are premium and really can impact your business.

Cons

Processes. Processes. Processes. A lot of the time we are dictated by Germany on how to run our business. It becomes complicated because the US market is very different. I work specifically for Schwarzkopf Professional. It seems like a never ending battle to get anything accomplished or to make changes. Everything must go through 27 steps before its approved and meanwhile we have lost many opportunities.
