      Pros

      Good remuneration packages but still high staff turnover

      Cons

      Internal politics gets in the way of honesty and integrity, too many big egos pursuing their own agendas

      Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We agree that we have a very good total rewards offering for our employees. There may have been unusually high turnover in the facility you worked in, but on average Essity does trend below industry standard in turnover and this is something we take great pride in. Thank you for your comments and suggestion that we listen better to our employees. We are going to be conducting a company wide employee survey in September where we hope to get good feedback on how we can do better.

      What a Mess!

      Pros

      Some colleagues were lovely and very supportive.

      Cons

      Where to start! Unfortunately there is an ingrained boys club so lots of cronyism when trying to progress. If your face fits you are fine but if not then forget it. There is a complicated management structure that confuses customers and frustrates employees. Customers are treated with contempt and the level of customer service is poor from all areas of the business which is embarrssing when you are trying to service accounts and win new business. Essity have become arrogant and believe they deserve new business but do nothing to keep hold of it! Redundancies have left employees feeling worthless.

      Pros

      Good people, strong product, excellent brand recognition. Good company culture.

      Cons

      There are too many manual processes and legacy systems. Onboarding procedures also require attention and improvement for external hires.
