Church & Dwight reviews

The company is very understaffed in some departments- it "runs lean". Extremely heavy on meetings, many of which are not productive, or not everyone invited has to be in- and the meetings create work. There are so many meetings that there is not a lot of time to do your actual hands-on work. Many meetings that are weekly could be less frequent with email communications in between meetings on a topic . Sometimes an email is sufficient you don't need a meeting for everything. Lack of normal communication, just call someone and talk- not everything has to be a meeting with spreadsheets. You will hear "this is the way we've always done it" when asking why something is done a certain way. Not a lot of openness to doing something differently. Training is lacking . Cross functional team members do little knowledge/history sharing with newer employees and then want to know why they don't know things. There are definitely departments who are thought of as more important or valuable than others which is definitely de-motivating for those people not in the "important" departments Just about every senior management person is a male, most of them white. It's more like 1985 than almost 2022 in that respect.

The people at this location specifically are very discriminatory, specifically racist and homophobic. It is characteristic of the area but no excuse. A lot of departments are very overworked, you will be forced to work overtime, weekends, and holidays. There is no room for advancement within the company, even if they lie and tell you there is. They only hire from outside and never promote from within. This has caused many great employees to leave. Management is a train wreck. It is all about workplace politics and favoritism. New hires and unruly, vindictive employees will be given the best hours to get them to stay and the loyal hardworking veterans will be put on the back burner. Don’t get me started on the drama in this place. It is worse than high school. Be prepared for lies, rumors, and attempts to destroy your reputation especially if you are a woman, an outgoing/kind person, or in the least bit attractive.
