Pros

This Company has a "soul", operates on highly ethical principles, genuinely cares for the greater good of the world and communities. Excellent Brands and Products, very ethical about product claims, does not over claim to be competitive if it can't stand the scrutiny

Cons

Recent changes with Top Level Executives coming from outside is changing the wonderful culture rather drastically for the worse. The new executives have no appreciation for good work done in the past....They see a need to fix everything as if everything is broken ...No longer is there respect for decent working hours, meetings go on till 9 and 10 p.m. and they take pride in this...; meetings scheduled on long week ends or business trips start on long week ends, lots of flip flop in decision making. No work-life balance. No respect for family time...it is all about "numbers"...all the time

Thanks for writing. 10+ years is a long time to give any employer, and we’re grateful you chose SCJ. There’s been a lot of change in recent years, and we know that it has led for some teams to longer hours and more workload. We appreciate all that you’ve been giving. We want to make sure we get to the right balance where we can be a strong competitor while maintaining our special culture. We’ll pass your advice along.

Pros

People at Manager and ABM level. Company Values and Beliefs. Competitive pay but falling short on medical benefits.

Cons

Politics are rampant. Director level and above are solely focused on their personal agendas and advancing their own careers. SCJ has built a culture of Directors and NOT leaders. Sr Leadership evokes fear in employees and is not willing to accept or appreciate diverse thinking. HR is abysmal and can not be trusted. What was once an amazing company is now fighting for relevancy and existence in the new world.

Pros

Sustainablility focus. Career opportunities for some but not others

Cons

There’s a dichotomy in the employee experience. Raises are unbelievably low. And only some get bonuses. Many have no career path Employee morale is low and there’s no meaningful change. No flexibility to work remotely even one day unless you live more than 10 miles from the office due the CEOs policy who’s based in Racine WI—very different than Chicago. Significant turnover with some not lasting a full year Lack of meaningful commitment to an ongoing DI policy
