Pros

They respect work and life balance. We are always encouraged to take time-off and make sure we take care of ourselves if we are ever sick.

Cons

They are extremely risk averse. The people in marketing are always trying to do what the safe thing is to do, which is why you don't remember much of what's been done. It's pretty boring stuff.

Pros

Good work/life balance. Decent pay. For good performers, many opportunities to move around the company to different brands, different job types, and different functions.

Cons

Culture of very slow decision making. Clorox brings in too much inexperienced talent, so you get too many mediocre performers hiding out all over the company. Very beaurocratic. Many different levels of management manage too few people at each level. Cheap. Weak 401k matching system. Too little celebrating successes, not enough money put behind the celebrations that do occur.

Pros

Between Memorial Day through Labor Day, employees can leave the office at 12:30PM with out taking any vacation time. Employees get free products if you know the right people. For recent college graduates, it is a good place to be as a starting point in your career. You will learn a lot. But you might not get paid as much as your friends. It is a stable company since we sell household products. People will always need to clean.

Cons

It can be political. We do many, many forecasts. If you are not wanted, they will do everything they can to drive you out. Promotions and moving up is not clearly define since there are ways to move up with out following policies and guidelines. If they don't like you, you can be stuck in one job for years. Senior Management claims they support work/life balance, but will make you get your work done before you can have a life.
