      Bad experience, but not a terrible place to work - Anonymous employee Sika Employee Review

      Pros

      People were nice, flexible scheduling

      Cons

      People were very set in their ways and were not always willing to help or explain things to someone new. There was zero tolerance for mistakes. No one is perfect, so this isn't acceptable. I was put into a position under a new manager who didn't know what he was doing (he had also just started). We were trying to switch over to a program that was already in use in Europe to produce MSDSs, but it was an impossible task. I would make a MSDS following the procedure I was given from Europe then sales and R&D would freak out about it having stuff in there that reacted out, repeat, repeat, repeat. I tried my very best to work with the program and with everyone involved, but it was a terribly frustrating ordeal. My manager even told me I had a bad attitude when I would explain my frustrations. At the peak of this, I was offered a job from a previous employer and ran as fast as I could.

      Pros

      -People here are great, I made friendships that go beyond the job. -The benefits are pretty good, employee contributions are on the lower end. I also appreciate the PTO day for community service and the fitness reimbursement plan. -I love the employee events like birthday treats (when they still had them) and the holiday party

      Cons

      -There is little to no internal promotion opportunities anymore. When roles have opened up, they have gone to external candidates, or they bring someone in from the location in Europe. -Patchy communications from corporate, as well as corporate boasting the record-breaking profits on the internet, and then our bonuses would get cut - left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. -Salaries are pretty frugal -Senior management seem to be in a micromanagement mindset and caring about the wrong things -HR and management have made some bad choices when it comes to employees lately that I don't agree with
