Pros

Some strong brands, lots of potential

Cons

Appalling leadership; toxic, hostile, political, and completely self-centered, unethical, and abusive. Key achievement was unprecedented turnover, and low employee engagement.

Pros

I worked for Method Products and whilst I was there it was acquired by SCJ in 2017. Working for Method was great, they had a great mission, a BCorp certification and really was doing things differently in business and with their people all whilst doing good by the planet. I was also able to travel internationally to the US, Belgium and Germany. I was able to lead a number of projects and work with a range of talented people to gain experience.

Cons

As soon as SCJ came along, they literally sucked the life out of the brand and the company. Everyone left the company, we lost our BCorp certification and the product standards were lowered and made cheaper which in turn reduced the quality. SCJ also imposed their old school bureaucratic processes and leadership on to the company. You would think they are the United Nations in the way they used to treat everything so seriously and bully people. They literally just make average products, come back down to Earth. Let’s not mention the ego centric owner of SCJ who videos himself swimming in ocean plastic whilst his company greenwashes itself and is a big part of the problem.

Pros

Pay is ok, but doesn’t compete with the bigger CPG players. Discount store is nice. Health benefits are parity to other companies. Not hard work.

Cons

Antiquated views of senior leaders have lead to abhorrent policies for employees. They have been really unreasonable during COVID, forcing employees back when it is not safe and threatening to those who are uncomfortable at HQ. It’s really disheartening. The turnover is astonishing- they can’t keep talent and oddly don’t care. Not a place of innovation at all. It’s really a company that tries to fill as much shelf space they can and copy-cat other competitors. If you want to feel like you’re in the 60’s working in marketing for white males, come here. But if you want to learn, grow and feel valued while contributing, go somewhere else.
