Pros

They pay good, liked the work.

Cons

I was fired because I was accused of saying something insensitive, however I was never told what exactly I was accused of. Never given a chance to defend myself, and on top of it fired over the phone after my shift on a friday. I garentee I did not say anything derogatory records anyone. Also communication is lacking, reactive vs pro active, parking is horrific, and no real training.

Although I am unable to comment as I don't know the specifics of the case, I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience at the end of your employment with Sika. We aim to treat all of our employees fairly and I will pass your comments onto the local management team for their review.

Pros

Nothing much to mention

Cons

Poorest management I've worked with in my entire career. People are placed on positions based on their reference and not based on their abilities and skill sets. No increment to 5 of the employees, but mid-year salary n position hike to the people who not been able to even sort out issues of providing drinkable water. Tonnes of material man-hanfled and later incinerated, nobody is bothered, not even the APac regional management. Work with Sika was like serving a sentence for crime not committed. Sika Jhagadia is managed like somebody's personal property and rest are the servants.

Pros

The pay and benefits for the union members are wonderful. Starting out, it will be small but there is much potential if you stay with the company for atleast a year. For the most part, the turnover rate is fairly low and the Human Resources department is respectful. If you are union at this company, you are not going to be without a job because of something you done.

Cons

The union mentailty/environment is not for everyone, so be careful. The union members are strictly distrustful of upper managment, and "sucking up" to your boss will not be tolerated by your coworkers. Honest communication (or any communication for that matter) between workers and upper managment is horrible. Also, this company has always been prone to bad buisiness practices, something they are perfectly fine broadcasting to its production employees when they want something extra out of them (give us more, because we are sinking and you may not have a job tomorrow). If they say that, they are not joking...I was laid off after working there almost five years. The automotive industry is very unstable and quite seasonal, so that mixed with their bad buisiness practices makes for terrible job stability. I am sure they might be changing. Bottom line, if you can work in a place where you are fine being treated like a machine and not like a person, you will be fine.
