Fast paced, challenging environment. The business goals are demanding and challenging. At times, it is difficult to move projects along as there are various demands that come up suddenly that cannot be anticipated for.

Good fast paced company with good work ethic,

A typical day would be ensuring the packing of the product is carried out without breakdowns whilst maintaining product quality. Also being responsible for PPMs and replacement part ordering. The management is good but can be difficult to speak too. My team that i worked with were excellent and very freindly. The hardest part of the job was ensuring – more... you met all the targets that the management set .
The most enjoyable side was working with a good set of people. – less

Reckitt is known as a fast based culture where you get significant responsibility from the start, which makes it great to learn many aspects of the business, but at a cost.

Work hours are longer than other CPGs and you're forced by management to meet their deadlines even if the project doesn't need to be accelerated, which means you're constantly changing – more... direction and priorities everyday to the point where almost everything is late. And management in marketing and trade is demeaning. They like to say the culture is direct but there is a big difference between that and behaviors like: throwing people under the bus, talking down to people, and focusing on negative issues primarily. It's very much a top down culture and they bring in Europeans to fill in the top roles so US employees are generally shafted.

I would recommend not coming to work here. Don't be tempted by the salary and bonus. – less

Morning meetings , plan for the day, walk through plant, ensure line run efficiently, do projects, tackle breakdowns, plan for shutdowns.
Always room for learning new things no limit between trades.

Have to be flexible for demanding schedules. Management doos reward associates when things are done well.

I would rate it 3/5 considering it a ideal launchpad for a fresh graduate who wants to understand FMCG - Operations business in and out. Gradually as the saturation hits (1-2 years), the company is pretty good in rotating you around in multiple roles and offers flexible "geography based" opportunities as well.

Great Benefits, too many changes in upper management causing restructure every other year it seemed.
