It's just a job, not a career

Pros

They will invest in you to make you happy.

Cons

But the prospect of truly developing your career will never happen when the majority of senior positions are being recruited from the outside.

Thanks for your comments. We do want to invest in people. In fact, more training and development opportunities are on the way. We respect both folks who are new and those who've been at SCJ a long time - we're sorry you haven't felt that way.

Pros

Great co-workers Decent Brands Looks good on the resume

Cons

Not a family company any more- commitment to employees very low Brought in a new senior team with a global focus- stop spending money to drive sales in the US. The US commercialization team is underfunded yet still expected to deliver revenue to fund global growth. Think 3G. Morale in the US is the lowest I've seen in my career Extremely top down- think Frito-Lay. Churn and burn expectations on all sales and commercialization employees. No training for existing employees unless you are politically connected or new. The most sycophantic upper-middle management team I've ever seen. Minimal actual connection between results and advancement.

We’re sorry your experience at SCJ wasn’t positive. We agree the people and brands here are great, and are disappointed you didn’t feel there wasn’t training and funding to back them up – those are commitments we value. We review and consider all feedback posted here.

Pros

Benefits okay, slow pace, predictable. You don't really have to perform ... just fit in and drink the corporate kool-aid.

Cons

Horrible morale, high turnover as company does NOT actually behave in a manner reflective of their propaganda image. Low opportunities for advancement. Loss of core values that helped build the company. No respect anymore for employee loyalty. Used to be a good company but management changes have driven off loyal employees similar to me.

It sounds like you left with a pretty negative view of SCJ. We’re sorry to hear it. While we don’t agree with all of your critiques, we want to keep learning and growing as a company – and that means considering all feedback. We’ll take your comments to heart.
