      It used to be great to be SCJ, now it's hard to say that.

      Pros

      The pay and benefits... kind of.. they (benefits) keep letting less and less every year. Mainly the pay. Some of the individual teams have absolutely wonderful people in them. Also some of the "old timers" are the most knowledgeable people you can meet.

      Cons

      Management that doesn't listen to its long term employees. In recent years it has turned into a "us" vs "them" mentality between production and the management team. Management seems to have free reign to destroy a culture that thrived within the company. They don't seem to listen to employees on ideas that could benefit the production areas. Recently it seems that the regular employee doesn't want to speak up anymore do to some type of retaliation down the road. Morale is low, hour are getting longer as they try to cram 12 hr shifts down everyone's throats. They preach about safety but yet seem to bypass it for numbers. Money is being spent on wrong ideas. The quality of training has for sure diminished, as well as the quality of new hires whether it's for the shop floor or new management.

      Pros

      Harder and harder to find as time goes on

      Cons

      No integrity, don't live their values, no decision-making ability, chasing every crazy idea, no work-life balance. Upper management is too busy throwing each under the bus and everyone else is caught in the cross fire.

      Thanks for writing. It sounds like you’re pretty down on the company, and if this is what you’re experiencing, we can understand why. But what you’ve described is not the culture we want to have. We want to be a great place where people like you feel like they can do great work. And we’re trying hard to be that. We’re sorry you don’t feel like that’s the case. We appreciate you sharing your perspective.

      Pros

      This Company has a "soul", operates on highly ethical principles, genuinely cares for the greater good of the world and communities. Excellent Brands and Products, very ethical about product claims, does not over claim to be competitive if it can't stand the scrutiny

      Cons

      Recent changes with Top Level Executives coming from outside is changing the wonderful culture rather drastically for the worse. The new executives have no appreciation for good work done in the past....They see a need to fix everything as if everything is broken ...No longer is there respect for decent working hours, meetings go on till 9 and 10 p.m. and they take pride in this...; meetings scheduled on long week ends or business trips start on long week ends, lots of flip flop in decision making. No work-life balance. No respect for family time...it is all about "numbers"...all the time

      Thanks for writing. 10+ years is a long time to give any employer, and we’re grateful you chose SCJ. There’s been a lot of change in recent years, and we know that it has led for some teams to longer hours and more workload. We appreciate all that you’ve been giving. We want to make sure we get to the right balance where we can be a strong competitor while maintaining our special culture. We’ll pass your advice along.
