Pros

Canada has good tuition reimbursement program. Depending on your superiors you may be able to have flex time and work from home. Some opportunities may be present internationally. When properly handled, there is satisfactory knowledge management and best practice sharing, which helps to do one's job. Depending on your supervisors, may be able to attend and learn from industry events/conferences. Salaries are usually kept within the industry standards. Efforts are made to retain the best employees.

Cons

Little interaction with other divisions of Henkel, thus no opportunity for cross-category experience. No official flex time policy (or summer hours). Office is very small and not a lot of movement is available within the same division in Canada. Sometimes there is lack of communication with the main office in the US, which lead to a feeling of isolation. Most of the decisions and important business related activities are handled in the US while HR is handled out of the "corporate" Canadian office (separate site), further contributing to confusion.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
