Pros

Good benefits like pension, holidays, free lunch.

Cons

Local markets scared of global teams, no autonomy or empowerment. Run by dinosaurs stuck in the dark ages. Not progressive or dynamic. The business knows zero about diversity and inclusion- business run by middle aged white men. Dreadful culture at the top, sadly filters down to the local markets. Way too much process for the smallest of things which wastes time and makes the business very slow to react. A lot of unhappy people in the business.

Henkel Response

Thank you for reflecting on your time as a sales manager in England and thank you for your honest feedback. We are pleased that you highlight the benefits at Henkel here, because we believe that this is one aspect that makes us stand out as an employer. On the other hand, you also have a point of criticism. In particular, the topics of diversity & inclusion and the empowerment of our teams are very important to us, which is why we take your experiences very seriously. We have initiated a cultural change at Henkel, one of the goals of which is to give local teams more freedom to operate and make decisions. We have also put diversity and inclusion on our top agenda, particularly this year, and are continuing to drive the topic forward through targeted management training, among other things. We would love to learn more about your experiences and would be grateful if you shared it with us in a personal meeting with our HR department. This would give us the chance as an employer to improve and develop even further.

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.
