Pros

Large, multinational company Decent pay and benefits (being eroded) Lateral career opportunities Overall friendly colleagues

Cons

Recommend keeping away from AEI. There are serious systemic issues in the organization. Systems running the business don't work and are overcomplicated. This makes doing your job next to impossible with reactive middle management. Over-reporting, analysis paralysis, and micromanagement. Employees spend more time dealing with internal issues, system shortfalls, and reporting to management then doing their job. Competing internal businesses. High employee turnover and poor morale. Many are looking for a way out. Managers are focused on reporting, checking boxes, and looking good as opposed to leading their teams and removing barriers. Senior Leadership seems to turn a blind eye to issues noted above and act like everything is OK.

Pros

The ability to learn on the job training by other experienced Maint Electricians is definitely a benefit.

Cons

Trying to grasp all the different technical terms used internally by the Henkel Maint team is a huddle I have to overcome.
