Pros

Great pay and benefits.

Cons

Let me start with "Job title". I leave that as unspecified because it doesn't matter what your title here, you never work inside the scope of your job description. Essentially you do as your told. Very poor culture here. Raises and bonuses are reflected solely on the good ol' boy mentality. Favoritism is the true culture of Henkel Corp. Seniority and individual achievements has NO factor in future advancements. If your OK with staying in the position you get hired at, then Henkel is the place for u! Henkel management will never have intentions of advancing your career. They will hand off there work to you while they enjoy their card games, extended meetings and company provided luncheons! So unless your willing to hang out at the Director of Operations house for drunkin weekends consider any career you might have at Henkel Stationary. "You will never be anything more then you are today!" This is a quote from the now retired D.O.O .

Pros

Work will be very challenging as the company in the USA will essentially be given marching orders from it's German HQ and staff will need to meet the goals.

Cons

Very controlling environment from the German HQ. While Sr. Management are friendly and send signals that they are willing to listen, in actuality, they don't. Control is very centralized and in the hands of those with good connections to HQ and the family which owns majority interest.
