      Look elsewhere...terrible management dynamics & morale

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work all the time - long days/nights/weekends. Sunday projects from bosses for Monday meetings...fun! The credit for your Good Work will be overlooked and taken by your boss. All decisions are made from out of touch upper tier directors/VP's. If you like outsourced internal providers that have no stake, this is your place. Narcissistic Senior Level management is crushing to morale. Group/consensus think rules - no one to blame (Dir/VP's) in group think except worker bees. Risk averse culture - stagnant innovation. Lots of failed initiatives due to upper level control and no trust of worker bees insight, experience, and intelligence. Might be a "Family" company, just NOT "Your Family".

      Cons

      Moving work out of Racine Losing long term employees that know the business and turning it over to "outsiders". Most of the upper management (Sr. Directors/V.P.'s/EVP's) are influenced only by their own KPI's...crush everything down stream that will get in the way of their own performance/rewards.

      We’re sorry you feel your time at SCJ was so negative. We respectfully disagree with some of your points, but we are continuously looking for ways to improve and we try to consider all comments with an open mind.

      Pros

      Nice campus. Great employee benefits including the company store. The company also has a nice philanthropic arm.

      Cons

      Don't work in Communications or Public Affairs. Unfortunately the team deals with negative leadership, hence the reason for high turnover.

      "Family Company" keeping employees from seeing their own family

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair compensation and benefits Most individuals are great to work with

      Cons

      SCJ has handled the COVID pandemic extremely poorly in regards to forcing all employees to return to the office. SCJ is forcing office workers back starting in November with 100% of the workforce back in January. This plan is during the midst of Wisconsin breaking records with cases, positivity rate, hospitalizations and deaths. As we begin to return to the office, myself and several individuals will have to sacrifice seeing high risk and elder family members as we will not be able to self quarantine before visits anymore. We should not have to submit a HR exception request every single time we need to self quarantine before visiting with family (these have also not been approved). It seems wrong for a "Family Company" to get in the way of its employees being able to see their own family just to have us return to the office for work that can be done even more productively at home.

      We appreciate your feedback as we continue with our phased return to office process. As we believe SCJ is stronger as a team when we can work together in-person, for the benefit of our consumers and the communities we serve, we continue to work toward bringing SCJ people back to the office. Our priority is the health and safety of our people, great care and investment have gone into preparing our offices around the world for a safe and successful return. We understand there may be circumstances that might make it challenging for SCJ people to return, whether it’s childcare or if a person is more at risk from a health perspective. Through a confidential, HR-led process, SCJ people may submit requests for such exceptions and pursue alternate considerations. Due to the ever-changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently continuing in the voluntary return to office phase. Going further, we will monitor the situation and provide advance notice before entering the next phase of our return to office process.
