Good pay. Great opportunities if you’rea who’re male of German decent.

Too many Levels of management. It’s A boys’ club Little opportunity for the diverse population, especially people of color.

Hello dear colleague, as an organization, we accept and value all employees regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, or sexuality, and we expect all our employees to be held to the same standard. To stay true to our commitment, we recently developed a Diversity Steering Committee and held our first Diversity Bar Camp for all North American employees. There are no excuses for racism, and we thank you for speaking up and sharing your feedback with us. To discuss your experience further, we encourage you to reach out directly to an HR representative or reach out to us on employerbranding@evonik.com. Thank you again and we wish you all the best.

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.
