Pros

some lower level people are nice

Cons

I feel very unsafe working here. They treat COVID as a joke, but use the excuse that the situation is ever changing and that they’ve invested lots of money into the office to make a safe workspace. However the reality of it is that they did rent out an additional floor in the building to “spread out”, yet not a SINGLE employee sits on that floor. The floor is empty. We used to have town halls where an employee could anonymously ask questions, but when employees started asking about COVID workplace safety policies, upper management took away the anonymous option leading to employees being frightened of losing their jobs, so therefore no more COVID questions were being asked. In town halls where employees did have the courage to write in a question related to COVID, questions related to workplace safety and RTO were blatantly skipped. It was an on your honor system of not wearing a mask in the office if you were vaccinated. Now everyone has to wear a mask due to increasing rates, yet I have since heard of employees who were NOT vaccinated and not wearing masks. SCJ doesn’t seem to care. Not a family company culture at all. Only expect to get a respectable promotion if you kiss up to management. Otherwise, expect pennies. Morale is terribly low around the office. Not a fun place to work.

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.
