Pros

Health benefits are pretty good. 401k is good.

Cons

Too much outsourcing in IT. Reduced levels of Henkel IT employees which leads to being overworked and assigned projects that are destined to fail. The CIO of North America (Amy Bloebaum) is very good at cutting staff and limiting resources. She is more concerned about saving a nickel today rather than saving a dollar tomorrow. In other words, she is only concerned about short term savings and is unwilling to spend more money to get the job done right. Henkel IT in general is more like a dictatorship that imposes it's will on the various business units in the name of standardization. I've never seen so many unhappy employees at one company in my entire life. Morale is terribly low and all the good people keep jumping ship at the first opportunity.

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.
