Pros

Full time B&P workers work together but management makes decisions that affect workers and don’t seem to actually know how the hard work and process that is used to complete task without the correct machinery maintenance and tools that are not available to workers they have no idea what is happening in production or act loke they dont know so the workers look bad and not management.

Cons

Under paid, unorganized, poor management, no communication, no ethics from management, if you do not hide their mess and don't speak the truth you will have career opportunities , but if you speak out the truth you don’t have any opportunity in advancing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your many years of service with Henkel. We truly appreciate your dedication and the important role you play in our production operations. The concerns you’ve raised around communication, maintenance, tools, safety, development opportunities, and recognition are taken very seriously and do not reflect the work environment, and your feedback helps highlight where we need to improve. We are deeply committed to creating a workplace where employees have the resources they need, feel respected, and can grow in their careers. Your comments will be shared with the appropriate leaders so we can better understand these issues and take meaningful action. If you’re open to it, we encourage you to reach out directly to HR or your site leadership team so we can listen further and work together toward solutions. Thank you again for your hard work and for bringing these concerns forward. Best, The Henkel HR Team

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
