Pros

Holiday shutdown, company's commitment to the environment.

Cons

In my opinion one of the public faces of the company is disrespectful and consistently bullies and belittles her team and creates an extremely toxic work environment. Public shaming and manipulation are the norm, which leads to a team that operates under the fear of retaliation. Other departments within the organization have a positive reputation, but this one is dysfunctional under current leadership. Very unfortunate because the team is strong.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great

Cons

Certain Management Chains "highly encouraged" many of us to write positive reviews after one of our all hands meetings where employees pointed out all the negative reviews. Many of the reviews are not legitimate as a result. Cons, continue to outsource jobs to foreigners and less and less focus put on the individual contributor. People are seen as numbers and not as family anymore. Very sad. The company has lost it's way from the family values. If you want to work in IT and grow, you won't. Very SLOW moving, projects rarely complete successfully. Not worth the money.

Integrity is a fundamental principle at SCJ. The company would never ask anyone to say something he or she doesn’t believe is true, and bullying is not tolerated. We welcome sincere feedback here and review all comments.

Pros

vacation, 401K match and maternity/paternity leave are great

Cons

Upper management doesn’t trust employees and employees feel unheard by upper management. Covid-19 has ruined the company culture. The company forced people without medical exemptions to go back to the office in November of 2020 only to be forced to send people home due to a stay at home order put in place by Illinois. Mental health was not considered a medical exemption. They then forced everyone back to the office in the early summer of 2021 and took away all exemptions. Masks are not enforced and widely not used regardless of the HR policy’s in place. Overall, I feel unsafe at work. Work from home is only allowed one day per week if you live 10+ miles from the office. This policy is leading managers to try and bend the rules to keep their team members. Turn over is at an all time high and it seems that many people are simply waiting for bonus to pay before leaving.

We value the dedication of all SCJ people to work hard every day to help uphold the trust and goodwill we’ve earned from our consumers and communities for more than 130 years. Regarding returning to offices where local guidance has allowed, we have invested significant resources and have gone to great lengths in preparing our spaces for SCJ people to safely return to office. We have also offered additional benefits to help support SCJ people during these unique times, including childcare subsidies, testing, and vaccinations. We strongly believe SCJ people are able to achieve their best when they can collaborate and work together in person. We recognize this may not be the preference of some and appreciate that may be the case. But we are committed to maintaining our unique culture by attracting and retaining SCJ people who are aligned with our common values and purpose of working for a better world.
