Pros

The company operates in a robust industry and offers competitive employee benefits

Cons

Members of the Henkel Bay Point, CA team have misused the company’s corporate mailing system for personal gain. This included utilizing an out-of-state Henkel warehouse to facilitate the shipment of illegal items into California. Unaware of the scheme, employees at remote locations were instructed to repackage and relabel these shipments before forwarding them to a warehouse in Bay Point, CA.

Pros

The people are impressive and professional. An extremely global company with great diversity and a respectful office environment. Henkel is massive so there are plenty of opportunities to move around once you get your foot in the door. No better place for career development as it is majority family owned and more compassionate toward employees than other corporations I've worked.

Cons

It takes time to move up, and you need to be committed for the long term which may be a hard concept for millennials.
