Business Outlook

Pros

So far so good. I've only been with the Company for months. Most of my colleagues are highly competent and know their side of the business.

Cons

Tough transition from multinational to another multinational through the Covid-19 pandemic, but I imagine that's been the case for most of us who've changed jobs in 2020.

Thank you for writing a review of your experience as a Chemical Operator in Sabana Grande, even if it was not always positive. On one hand, we are glad that the whole team was able to guarantee you a pleasant start in our company and that you quickly became a part of it. On the other hand, we regret to hear that you felt not treated well. You have already mentioned a few points, but in order to get an even more precise understanding, we would be thankful if you could reach out to your former contact in the HR department. This way, you would enable us to continue to develop as an employer. Best regards, Your Henkel Team
