Pros

great Christmas parties. I liked Leann Rimes and MaggyPoppy.

Cons

“Family” refers to the royal family. Not yours unless you marry into loyalty. Good luck with that. Family means They watch their bottom line very carefully. If you lose a close relative you are provided only three days of grief. Vacation days shall cover the rest... and don’t plan to ask for FMLA they will deny it. Fisk spends way too much time fishing plastic bottles out of the Pacific, while seemingly oblivious to the fact his company is losing competitive edge and traction; particularly in business process technologies (cloud, machine learning is still 15 years to horizon maturity). They need to invest more money and quit cutting corners this sharplyZ. When this happens Good opportunities for Tier 1 Business Consulting to come in and reorganize 😊

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're disappointed this has been your experience at SCJ as we work hard to provide SCJ people with the tools and knowledge to excel in their roles. SCJ strictly abides by FMLA legal requirements and approves leaves when someone meets the criteria outlined in our policy and relevant laws. We encourage SCJ people to speak with their HR business partner if they have any questions about this process. Our corporate mission is to be at work for a better world – one that is more sustainable, healthier, transparent, and has more opportunities for all – we greatly appreciate the contributions of all SCJ people to this mission. We also care deeply about retaining the spirit of goodwill, respect and integrity that has always been fundamental to SCJ’s family company culture. We take the feedback received here seriously and hope you feel heard.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
