Hello, and thank you for your feedback. Bonuses and salary increases are based on corporate as well as individual performance. Unfortunately, within the past few years we have not been able to meet our target bonus. In 2020, this was largely due to COVID-19, but we are proud that due to cost-management we were still able to pay employees a yearly incentive. We understand that compensation has become a growing concern for many employees due to rising inflation. We are constantly monitoring compensation rates to ensure that all our employees are paid competitively. If you would like to provide more details about your experience at Evonik, we encourage you to reach out to employerbranding@evonik.com.

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.
