Pros

Setting lofty goals for profitability and achieving more often than not. Puts the Customer at the center of what they do. High emphasis on Safety and Sustainability. Competitive annual raises and bonuses.

Cons

Sometimes difficult to get a promotion unless you have the right internal advocate. Also, sometimes get bogged down by internal metrics that are non-value added to Customers and Stakeholders.

Pros

Company is very "People-Centric", which is amazing. Commitment to customers is great, but Henkel understand the Power of People. While there is much more room for improvement, already a very inclusive work environment.

Cons

Company is willing to pay large sums of money on events such as partnership with USA Soccer, which is great, but then at the plant level budgets are always tight, pinching pennies. More could happen in regard to engagement if budgets were provided directly to the AO networks.
