SC Johnson reviews

I loved my time in marketing, but that was 10 yrs ago. New company strategy is to cut costs and encourage attrition by putting unrealistic expectations on respected workers, reducing benefits, and showing key charismatic leaders the door. They have created a culture of fear, at least one great person leaves every month. Performance ratings not based on results or efforts, is based on acting nice, talking nice, and nodding your head up & down with a smile - to the right person (thankfully for my kids, I'm good at). Finally, the family is starting to wake up ("this is the beginning of the end"), but sadly the culture and it’s reputation is beyond repair. Within a couple of years, they will have no choice but to sell to a venture capitalists gutting the place (ie. kraft) to keep their equity (after all, there is a reason they're billionaires).

Leadership fraught with deception on Supply Chain side, Planning area destroyed by restructuring and moves to Chicago. Logistics employees at management level trying to save our sales without any solid leaders, rather bullies that sit by and watch. Women are often rated ‘avg’, even by those few female leaders, Forced Rankings are absurd & severely demotivating, employees that have stayed are giving their lives to this company only to receive avg ratings or less (of course tied to compensation), benefits consistently being chipped away at. All initiatives are focused on cost savings rather than innovation, cutting edge change, not customer focused. Turnover is rampant all the way to the top. New hires coming in with vacation pkgs similar to those that spent years achieving. Lack of real development paths, structure. High level strategy established across divisions however its again poorly led and everyone still focuses on their own goals while using the latest buzz words. So many people over worked and spread thin that everything lacks quality and the attention it deserves.
