Pros

Benefits okay, slow pace, predictable. You don't really have to perform ... just fit in and drink the corporate kool-aid.

Cons

Horrible morale, high turnover as company does NOT actually behave in a manner reflective of their propaganda image. Low opportunities for advancement. Loss of core values that helped build the company. No respect anymore for employee loyalty. Used to be a good company but management changes have driven off loyal employees similar to me.

It sounds like you left with a pretty negative view of SCJ. We’re sorry to hear it. While we don’t agree with all of your critiques, we want to keep learning and growing as a company – and that means considering all feedback. We’ll take your comments to heart.

A crumbling consumer products giant

Pros

The pay is good especially for longer term employees. Cash profit sharing is a very nice benefit. New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - decreasing costs and benefits and increasing profitably (presumably).

Cons

New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - slashing jobs. Replacing SCJ US jobs with contract positions in India and elsewhere. They see very little value in the skills and experience of the existing workforce. The prior senior and middle managers have no ability or power to drive existing projects. Their mandate is to enforce the restructuring driven from above. Long term employees have been abandoned and driven from the company. No career advancement opportunities for younger, less costly, employees. Little future as an employee.

Pros

- So lean that you are forced to learn so much so quickly which is good for development - Half day Fridays - Can move to Switzerland if you’re interested

Cons

- Terrible WFH policy- have to be in the office 4 days a week which is so far away from competition post-covid. Half of the time you’re forced in the office by senior management and no one else is there so it’s not about being “better together” - Overworked and underpaid- salary way below market and overworked for the salary you’re on - Very political- questionable decisions by management to suit workplace politics (both business and promotions/hiring)
