Pros of working at H.B. Fuller

As an HR Manager, the only good thing is the company adjusted our pay wages when we were all overworked.

Cons of working at H.B. Fuller

One of the more horrific experiences I have ever had at a company of this size. They are underprepared in every area. If possible, go to another company. That is the biggest detail I can warn about. Just do not accept an offer and you won’t have any regrets.

How did you prepare for the H.B. Fuller interview?

The recruiter asked questions like they would an assembly line. What hours you are willing to work, pay rate, etc. Complete hack.

How would you improve H.B. Fuller's culture?

I would recommend closing or replacing your toxic managers and their managers.

What do you like best about H.B. Fuller's CEO and the leadership team?

The former CEO was okay, but this new one came out of nowhere with an unqualified history and way over her head.

What brings you the most joy at H.B. Fuller?

Met a few people that went through the same and we got each other through it

What's the diversity at H.B. Fuller like?

Pros of working at H.B. Fuller

I like working at H.B. Fuller, because there is always something to do, and I can stay busy.

Cons of working at H.B. Fuller

I don't like working at HB Fuller, because, there is no management. Most of the employees, don't do their jobs. People are always standing around talking, or on their phones. Management does not seem to have a problem with this. Your better off here, if you are a man who like to talk about sports, then having to do your job and create product. There is no work ethic. Those who do work, are not appreciated.

Pros of working at H.B. Fuller

good people

Cons of working at H.B. Fuller

Nowhere to grow. You work hard and bring a difference but weighed down by favoritism of a few in the company and they are not leaving. Had good hopes until I started seeing the good employees leave every day for the same reasons

H.B. Fuller benefits

bonuses to all employees including us in hourly positions, but there is always a reason it goes down while they use our bonus to buy more companies.

Cons of working at H.B. Fuller

I was there for years in HR until recent. This company does not know what to do with their best talent because the long timers huddle and rail against that talent. No recognition. Work work churn and burn employees and hire lead positions from the outside.
