Not a great place to work

Pros

There are some nice people working here and in theory some good guiding values.

Cons

The leadership of SCJ have their head in their sand when it comes to flexibility and have never once asked employees what they want or need. The stock answer that SCJ have a 'better together' philosophy is not good enough and an insult to employees who (successfully) worked tirelessly through the pandemic from home.
