Pros

Small company, some great people and easy to make friends with, well-implemented communication systems with easy to access information (sharepoints, best practice sharing), transparency regading company development. Somewhat investment in professional development via trainings and cross-functional experience if you are among those who are appreciated. Nice year-end parties, profit sharing and vacation allowance.

Cons

Lousy salaries, 2 times below market average, trade marketing orientation only, international mkt programs with no local input but execution only at local level, sales-oriented company, low to almost no media budgets, benefits discrimination between company employees and third party ones, awful working hours (except short Friday, Mon to Thu is 9-18:30).

Pros

It did have a warm and paternal culture, a culture where the people mattered and the goodwill of the people was everything. Overall, very friendly people to work with, the people below the senior management who do all the work, work hard. Good facilities for parents and children, excellent access to the gym, recreation activities.

Cons

The culture of the company now has changed not evolved to what made SCJ a unique place to work. People do not seem to matter, working excessive hours with little if any recognition for the work. Recognition, promotions have not been consistent, and employees are left with not knowing what as an individual you need to do to be recognized or what is valued. Racine, the location is a downside, for recruiting the best talent - small town not diverse and not much to do. Diversity, through so much change and reorganiztion, the company has lost the diversity of people from different cultures and backgrounds either by self exiting the company or asked to leave.

We're sorry you feel the culture at SCJ has changed too much. As we come through the organizational evolution of the past few years, some ways of operating have certainly changed. But we absolutely want to retain the spirit of goodwill and respect that has always been fundamental to SCJ. We think we have, but we will take your feedback to heart.
