Reckitt Benckiser Employer Reviews

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

In the course of my 31/2 years at our RB FTW facility (STILL CURRENTLY THERE until Feb. 5th, 2013), I have operated many different machines and many different processes. While in the Packaging Dept., I operated the Blister Lines I.e. IMA C80’s, CSAT foil printers, Pester - Bundlers and Casepackers, Sepha De-Blisterer, and Leak Test Scanner; as well – more... as Optel Vision quality inspection system, Wolke carton printers, and various bottle line functions with the exception of the Aylward Filler. We performed “A” and “B” Cleans as well as changeovers on formats and products. I also performed basic resetting functions of the palletizing robot. While in the Mfg. Dept., I have worked primarily in Weighing with the new DFB/DMS System, but initially trained in the old manual style of weighing as well. I have also been cross-trained on Blending; both V-Blender and Bin Blender. I have been trained on some processes that we have since upgraded and phased-out including the old Granulation operation which utilized Day Mixers, Drying Ovens, and Fitzmills/Swecos (Work-Up). I have been trained in DEA List I materials compliance. I have been trained in AM (Autonomous Maint.) and as an operator/mantech perform the daily and weekly preventative maintenance tasks. We have also been trained in the SMED program which has reduced our downtime and changeover times significantly. – less

Culturally the most aggressive work place I have ever been in. Limited progression opportunities and training opportunities for those outside the Top 400.

my day ussualy start at 8:30 to 4:30, i learned how to work under pressure under stressful invironment going the extra mile. the hardest part of my job was attending always trying to deliver to customer that didnt have patience but i always managed tto please them.

It was a real nice place to work and if they didnt move i would have retired from there

Great place to work. Very challenging and promotion opportunities

My typical day at work would start off by- me running the customer service report that i was in charge of in the Supply planning department (that shows missed sales,stocks sols and stocks on hand) and therefore follow up on the reason codes and replenish stock accordingly where required and also feedback to the business on the reasons for low stock/missed – more... sales.

I have learned quite a lot from my manager who was really supportive and would encourage me to always come up with solutions to the problems at hand.i also had great and a fantastic relationship with my colleagues and we were so united that we did not only take interest in the work life but also interest in personal life too which is trully commendable.

The most enjoyable part of my job was when meeting targets even in the most difficult of times – less

Have learned a lot at Reckitt Benckiser. Work life balance is not as good as it should be.

What they tell you is true- It's not the easiest place to work

For those highly driven, not afraid to do whatever it takes to be successful, this is the company for you. It's reputation is earned. To advance within the company you do have to be willing to relocate as some point in your career to truely advance. You are given a lot of responsabilities – more... and opportunties to demonstrate leadership. They reward people who do well nicely but it's not a place for everyone. If you don't fit their fast-pased, results-oriented culture then don't join. – less

Typical day at work involves tracking consumption sales at key accounts, shipments, understanding trends, tracking competition, project meetings with cross functional teams, forecasting, meeting with agencies on new TV copy, working with trade marketing on developing selling stories

Reckitt is a global manufacturer of consumer goods that provides much experience with new and continuously improving products and the technology to produce them. The typical day of work was spent analyzing general ledger accounts, the feasibility of new/improved product cost estimations for marketing, and analyzing variance, labor, freight, and waste – more... and scrap accounts. The company environment is one in which continous improvement is admired and taking ownership of your work and projects is encouraged. During budget the tone of the office is more intense and stressful as management spends more time in meetings and planning for the year. Budget is the most difficult time of the year with a multitude of projects happening, budget deadlines needing to be met, and your everyday duties still needing to be completed. The most enjoyable aspect of working for Reckitt Benckiser is value on employee relationships and working together to see the goals of the company becoming a reality. – less

It used to be a great place to work, Now it is ruthless, You have to be able to work in other countries, You cannot care about anyone but yourself, tough place to survive if you are nice and older, Don't expect any type of work relationships.

Great organization. Wonderful benefits. Global opportunities. Never a dull day.
