Pros

10% 401k (5% match + 5% "retirement") with a 3 year vesting period. Maternity/Paternity leave is excellent. Usually pays near market rates for starting salaries. Great people! Despite the cons, there are some really good people that work for SCJ.

Cons

Forced ranking and raises are usually in the 1-2% range. Slow moving and fails to execute, especially the IT department. Almost 5 years in and things talked about when I started are still nowhere near complete. Aggressive forced return to office during Covid crisis. Exceptions from people simply asking to be fully vaccinated before RTO denied. Work from home policy might as well not exist. This is a butt in seat culture and even though almost everyone worked from home for a year, the policy is 1 day per week if you are > 20mi away from the office. Fisk is busy diving for ocean plastics and photo ops instead of maintaining a world class org.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
