Pros

Work life balance. Investment in employees to succeed. Several additional benefits on top of salary which only increases an employee's overall compensation.

Cons

Henkel is a German owned company and many of the European leadership come to the US and want to run the business like they do in Europe. They don't have a strong understanding of US retail. This often times makes for a difficult working environment, always having to explain why an item was accepted or not. It also means we do not spend enough on advertising, data sources, etc to support our products.

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.
