Henkel Employer Reviews

Each day is different. It is a must to wear many hats. One minute you are the creative director designing a coupon or promotion, the next minute you are answering questions for a sales manager on the latest promotion and then working with scheduling and supply chain on increasing production for a product that is in high demand. I have learned every – more... aspect of the business as I have to operate as a mini-general manager. My co-workers are like family. We work collaboratively together on projects and pitch in to help whenever needed. Working in larger corporation, you learn to fight for resources and network internally to make sure you are not forgotten and left out of the loop. – less

Excessive forced overtime. Expect no less than 80 hours a week on average. May be forced over 100 hours in one week. Pay is great.

worst place to work, work load too heavy, some good management but mostly bad one.No support from management and back stabbying. Very stressful. Lots of bullying...

You learn many things from the basics to the advanced ways of achieving goals.
Management are very supportive in many areas, you enjoy being there

Being outside the sphere of influence which is in Germany made accomplishing tasks more difficult, but local management provided direction, training and opportunity to keep the position enjoyable.

Closed Plant 2011,They bought us and split up the company into 3 different places.Out of state and country..

Working the second shift (3pm-11pm) started for me at 2pm. Converse with day shift supervisors going over problems and or products that needed attention. Check the schedules for needed changes or updates.Layed out work that was to be completed on the second shift or work that needed completed from the first shift. Learned alot on the different teams – more... (Audit,Root Cause,Housekeeping) about the ins and outs of company management. I was able to work with most of the 80 or so workers at one time or another during my time at Henkel. The hardest part of my job was working a tight schedule with machines broke or disabled. I liked the challenge at Henkel Co. and the enjoyment of our accomplishments. I was offered a job in a different city down south. I didn't wish to move at the time for personal reasons. – less

I love it and the people are great! It can be stressful, but I enjoy it for the most part... I have learned a lot!

Very challenging role, everyday is different which is great.

A great benefits package and allows for flexibility when it comes to personal and family obligations
Little to no job advancement, and no encouragements to advance.
typical corporate environment.

The company and employees are awesome to work with. They really do care about you as a person.

I learned to Drive forklifts, Ship and pack items, make labels, use the scan gun, pick and pull items.

QC department is like a family. We worked hard and enjoy this team-working environment. My co-workers are very pleased to help each other.

Site manager was a nightmare. She led by intimidation and harassment.

A typical day at work would require me to show up and wait around for about an hour before my boss showed up. I would go to him for work when the other tasks were done in the lab but he would never really have anything for me to do. The leader of the group was a great leader. He was a very good role model for me an how to properly manage others. He – more... was also very welcoming and nice to talk to. The co-workers I worked with were very nice as well. They love coming into work and working for the company. The hardest part of the job was during the down time. I would search for things to do but during these times it seemed as if there was nothing but minor things that would take minimal time. The most enjoyable part of the job were the people I had a chance to work with. – less

I was an unskilled worker at this company. The campany was so near to my house that was the main reason because of I wanted to work there.

A temporary role at a company I have temped at before. Days always busy answering phones, arranging complex meetings, organising travel, typing documents and responding to numerous e-mails both for the boss and for myself.
