Pros

Benefits and pay are good. I enjoy having the company store where we can buy discounted product. I also feel that I have career advancement.

Cons

I do not recommend working for this company. I am trying to decide if the benefits and pay are worth the unbearable stress. it’s quite the experience. The SCJ experience that is. We’ve made a lot of change but no improvements.

Pros

The pay and benefits... kind of.. they (benefits) keep letting less and less every year. Mainly the pay. Some of the individual teams have absolutely wonderful people in them. Also some of the "old timers" are the most knowledgeable people you can meet.

Cons

Management that doesn't listen to its long term employees. In recent years it has turned into a "us" vs "them" mentality between production and the management team. Management seems to have free reign to destroy a culture that thrived within the company. They don't seem to listen to employees on ideas that could benefit the production areas. Recently it seems that the regular employee doesn't want to speak up anymore do to some type of retaliation down the road. Morale is low, hour are getting longer as they try to cram 12 hr shifts down everyone's throats. They preach about safety but yet seem to bypass it for numbers. Money is being spent on wrong ideas. The quality of training has for sure diminished, as well as the quality of new hires whether it's for the shop floor or new management.

Pros

Harder and harder to find as time goes on

Cons

No integrity, don't live their values, no decision-making ability, chasing every crazy idea, no work-life balance. Upper management is too busy throwing each under the bus and everyone else is caught in the cross fire.

Thanks for writing. It sounds like you’re pretty down on the company, and if this is what you’re experiencing, we can understand why. But what you’ve described is not the culture we want to have. We want to be a great place where people like you feel like they can do great work. And we’re trying hard to be that. We’re sorry you don’t feel like that’s the case. We appreciate you sharing your perspective.
