I can vouch that Duracell is one of the best companies to work for.
—————+

Unfortunately, the quality of Duracell batteries has plummeted. While they used to be excellent, now every one that we’ve used in the last few years has leaked all over whatever it was used in (remotes, flashlights, alarm clocks), while the thing in question kept on working strong so as to not give us the slightest clue that the battery was leaking or dying, until the day it abruptly stopped working and it was too late, for it was all caked inside in corroded gunk.

Sorry for the run-on sentence, but come to think of it, that’s a good illustration of what I’m describing! lol (Now, we only use rechargeable batteries.)

I know. You speak the truth. My former plant made the C’s and D’s. I have always had a terrible time with the AA’s leaking. I know that at my former plant quality control was very strict. I have been retired for 8 years though so I have no idea about the quality now.

The AA’s were so bad that I never left them in any of my devices if it wasn’t going to be used for a while. I still do that. The Energizers were just as bad to leak. It was something about AA’s.

It’s still a good place to work though. :-) The benefits are the best you will find anywhere!
