We’re so glad to hear that you would recommend Evonik to your network, and we’re proud to consistently be an employer of choice In Mobile. As you mentioned, our employees enjoy a great, safe work environment and competitive pay. Chemical operators absolutely get holiday pay, but our method might be different than you’re used to at other companies. For specific, personal information like this, we recommend reaching out to your HR team—they’ll be happy to give you the details. Additionally, Evonik has a paid time off (PTO) policy that covers both vacation and sick time, which allows employees flexibility with how they spend time away from work. Again, we’re so glad you enjoy working here; if you have more feedback about your pay or time off, reach out to your HR team. Keep up the great work!

Pros

Pay is good, bonuses are low, benefits have decreased every year Lunch in cafeteria is great Shift relief time was good, had enough time after work to be with family We sure miss Bonnie out there , she’s great.

Cons

Micromanaging - Extreme lack of trust Overall morale for the whole site is way down starting from 2018 Bias Backstabbing Incompetency - certain employees promoted to next level without actually knowing or understanding the process No work life balance, we’re told that doesn’t apply to production workers. Overtime hours avg 400-700 hours a year No room for employee growth or thoughts on process productivity/troubleshooting acknowledged if you’re not in the clique 3-2-2-3 shift schedule swapping from nights to day each time led to overall fatigue. Needs to be 2 weeks of nights and 2 weeks of days. HR is an overall joke, they used to be superb until COVID and the new site manager. Preach safety but turn a blind eye when it’s convenient to reach production. Then fault the operators or maintenance personnel if something happens.
