Evonik Corporation Claimed Company
Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies. We may not manufacture tires, mattresses, medications, or animal feeds, but Evonik is part of all of those products –and many more. While we often contribute only small amounts of material, those contributions are precisely what make the difference. That's because Evonik products make tires fuel-efficient, mattresses more elastic, medications more effective, and animal feeds healthier. That’s what specialty chemicals are all about. And when it comes to specialty chemicals, we're among the best in the world. read more
Overall I have enjoyed my time working at Evonik. When everything is up and running, and there are active processes, it makes the days run smoothly/ quickly. It is semi-frustrating knowing that Frito Lay pays equally if not more to some degree than Evonik, a company that makes medicine.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
I never thought I would work here, but took a shot in the dark a few years back when I retired from teaching. This has been an eye-opening experience which lets me challenge myself every day. Some days are definitely better than others, but I do not regret my decision to start working here.
What makes you most happy at work?
Knowing that there is an end goal that the entire team agrees on and is aware of.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
There is plenty of communication to keep us up-to-date one current events and the status of the company.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We tend to all get along and are more than willing to help one another if the need arises.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Most people in my area (Operations) seem to have the same mindset, and can agree on most aspects of our jobs.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
We get plenty of updates with new about current and future statistics regarding the site's performance, and what to expect in the coming months.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Operations Point Books for promotions limit your ability to move up the ladder quickly unless you are in a position to work in multiple different building at once.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Other local employers (and those less than an hour's drive away) tend to have higher pay rates than what Evonik currently offers. Several people have left to pursue these careers and I see that number increasing in the near future.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Overtime ruins my motivation at the start of each week. Most of the time we don't need OT, but we do not get called off because they tend to dig around and try to find a reason to keep us. Scheduling OT a month ahead really puts a damper on motivation and overall morale.
