Amka Products Reviews

 

Excellent learning curve.

It is a great company to start out a career in cosmetic chemistry Gives assistants the opportunity to learn more There's little to almost no growth for many of us Salary is bad The challenging part about working here is constantly feeling under valued and under bad. And being stuck at an entry level position for years

Pros: Great learning curve
Cons: Low monthly salary

I am in gratitude of my experience at Amka, Personal growth is essential to me.

A typical day at work includes palletizing at least 150 pallets, pulling jobs for other departments within the company, i work in the warehouse, so my job is to pull jobs for manufacturing. Challenges arise when jobs become demanding. I enjoy these challenges. I believe in working in a healthy atmosphere which leads to a productive environment that being said i believe in having good relationships with my colleagues.

Pros: Great learning opportunity
Cons: Efforts are often overlooked.

Great place to start your career at entry level as they are happy to give you opportunity to learn.

Great place to start your career as there is a lot of opportunity to learn, however I think your growth can be limited depending on your manager. I thought there was a nice culture among the employees as everyone is always very nice and helpful.

Pros: Freedom to launch new ideas and campaigns
Cons: Limited growth

Excellent learning curve

I work shifts, i have a good working relationship with my colleagues together with production and compounding stuff, i have learned to work well under preasure, and to take responsibility for my actions. I learned a lot about quality, peoples skills. What i love about my job is that everybody can do the other person's work. The most challenging thing is the long hours we work with no off days.
