Pros

-Smart and friendly colleagues -Respect for work/life balance -Decent benefits -Company trying to be better in digital marketing (new creative agency hired in July)

Cons

-Limited advancement opportunities, especially with the new marketing structure. The company has over -40+ Associate Marketing Managers (AMM's) all climbing up for 5-10 brand manager roles. -Poor quality of managers who provide inconsistent feedback, won't accept upward feedback. -----Cloros is far more sales focused than consumer focused despite all the hype and management focus/attention to putting the consumer first -Clorox has a very poor mentorship/support structure and limited engagement diversity support groups. -Very gossipy culture (maybe not a bad thing for some people, but find it poor taste) -The company reorganized the insights function so they are ALL overworked, underpaid, unqualified and providing poor information to their business (marketing) counterparts. I would NEVER consider this company for an insights role.

Pros

Unlimited PTO: Flexible paid time off, subject to manager approval. Location: A better location for a CPG company. People: Friendly and smart coworkers.

Cons

Training and development: Training quality lags best-in-class CPG companies (e.g., P&G), where many senior marketing hires developed their foundational capabilities. The culture also places less emphasis on career development, mentorship, and internal talent growth. Compensation: Salary is not competitive relative to the Bay Area cost of living, and medical insurance options are expensive, making it difficult for many employees to build a long-term career in the region without external financial support. Career progression: Limited opportunities for advancement due to the organizational structure and low turnover in senior leadership. Technology and tools: Systems, technology, and ways of working lag modern standards despite being headquartered in the world's leading innovation hub. Culture: A risk-averse culture can slow decision-making and innovation.
