Pros

Clorox has great opportunities for people. High turnover creates lots of openings. High value for DEI creates lots of opportunity for diversity candidates and consequently massive headwinds for white straight men.

Cons

Clorox is the ultimate corporate swamp. It has its own language. It’s own speed. Its own cultural smell. The company is not interested in making money or taking care of its employees. It certainly isn’t interested in values beyond DEI. Leaders manage up well. Narcissism is valued and promoted. Over the past 4 years all our virtuous leaders have been run off. Our Sr Directors, VP’s, and C suite spend all their time fighting amongst each other and blaming each other for their collective failures. The company can’t execute a project. Not a major launch, a new plant implementation, and now we’re watching the titanic sink during a major ERP implementation. The COO will blame everyone but himself. The VP’s will blame everyone but themselves. Time to look in the mirror. Leaders need to stop playing “game of thrones” and start caring and leading people. When did we make it ok for leaders to stop actually leading people well? All of my peers are looking externally. Everyone wants off this sinking ship.

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.
