Pros

It's SC Johnson, We are all paid well, A GREAT reputation of a GREAT family company!, JMBA, lighthouse resort, Johnson Bank, being a part of the best historical Racine work place, profit sharing, and my new house.....

Cons

Gossip, wich is everywhere/ "senior employees" treat us "younger hires" like trash! One mistake and its the talk of waxdale. Most of this is because these elder employees have no other friends!!!!! They only have each other, then bash and belittle the ones who make mistakes because they never had made them ever in their career.

Pros

Ok Benefits for a Private Company. The long time leadership recognizes that downfall of hiring so many outside leadership from PepsiCo, Kraft, Unilever and other for profit companies has come with a huge change in our culture. Maybe they will not keep retiring but stand up and be heard. Be the voice for the blue collars at SCJ.

Cons

New management is changing the culture too much. Even the CEO has been communicating that layoffs will be the norm for this company. That was once something that stood out for this company. They considered the little people not just the high paid management that can do damage at SCJ and then move on to many other jobs after causing collateral damage at SCJ. I want to believe that the CEO has no clue what is going on. If he does know and is empowering the Good Ole Boy's Club to make radical changes like they have been then Shame on YOU! There is no difference working for this company verses another CPG. Don't take the offer if you are considering working here if it is all about a high offer. YOu will not be happy. You will be stuck for two years or have to pay your sign on bonus back if you leave. It is a horrible feeling to be stuck at this new culture company. What you read about the history is true...this is a wonderful company that stood out from all others. The family was involved with the workers and that is what made the employees trust in the company and have loyalty to their jobs. No you will be a number and no one will care about you. The onboarding process is to just leave you to figure it out. I have seen some people get connected with great mentors and excel and then others just flounder because no one helps them to connect to the people they need to partner with to do their job. It is really, really bad. I wish I could say that this is still the great company that I grew up with in our community but it is not. I cant wait to hear that they are going they are going to move the whole company to Mexico. I am sure that is coming next. So they can reduce costs of the production teams and the upgrade of an outdated plant here in WI. So sad that this company has become al about money and no longer cares about ALL its employees. Only the ones who are in leadership cutting jobs.
