Pros

PTO, base salary, *most* people are great, benefits.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities, long/term incentives below Director level, constant organizational change, reactive and toxic leadership, internal politics, promotes more based on personality type than skills and merit, lack of transparency in feedback, questionable pay transparency. HR campaigns on feedback, succession, and development are propaganda.

Thank you for your comments. We strongly believe SCJ people are able to achieve their best when they can collaborate and work together in person. For many roles, we offer one day of telecommuting. This allows us to commit the necessary time and effort to collaborate cross-functionally to ensure we’re meeting customers’ needs and delivering the appropriate strategies, programs and solutions for our business.
