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

Amazing potential to be a best in class work environment. Management prevents this because they instill a poor culture. They pay less than competition resulting in terrible staff, they give the same raise for everyone instead of giving raises based on performance.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Make raises based on performance instead of the same across the board, hire better employees, and pay better.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Pay at Evonik is less than competing companies are offering. Even fast food is paying more than the temp service at Evonik. My job makes $20,000 a year less at Evonik than most other organizations.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Evonik cannot get new customers because they do not want to invest in improvements to the site so the potential customers are going to other organizations that are willing to be less expensive and willing to invest.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Ensure pay and benefits match or are better than competing companies in the area instead of paying less. Staff the site for success instead of failure to allow better work/life balance. Staff positions prior to employees leaving so replacements are trained.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Need to increase pay to get better applicants. The newer employees are not very good because the best personnel are working at organizations that pay more. Once we get better staffing, we need to hold everyone accountable instead of specific individuals.
