Pros
Some of the perks: tuition reimbursement, generous paid holiday break (between Xmas and New Years), 1/2 day Fridays in the summer, Company resort in Minocqua, WI, Company match on 401K up to 6%, profit sharing 2x/year, discounted product at the company store, top-notch child care center and Rec Center w/pool.
Cons
Senior management is way REACTIVE instead of PROACTIVE. This caused last-minute decisions and a snowball effect of changes. Strategy seems to be lacking. The CEO (Fisk) is more concerned with the outward appearance of the campus, and business mergers and acquisitions than he is about the people of the company. His father, Sam Johnson (who is most likely rolling over in his grave), made SC Johnson the best place to work by taking care of his employees as if they were members of his own family. The direction the company has been moving in the past 5 years is a far cry from upwards... the employees are unhappy and scared and they walk around like zombies because they're over-tired, over-worked and under-appreciated. If Fisk would have quit spending money on cafeterias with airplanes built inside, and remodeling the research tower, he might not have had to lay off as many people as he did. Also - it's impossible to advance at this company (even though they paid for my education), HR is basically useless as an advocate or mentor and they all communicate with the employees like robots, it also took weeks to get answers back from HR on anything (very slow moving). Salary is competitive but nothing to brag about, insurance is SUPER expensive, On-site cafeteria is beautiful to look at but the food leaves much to be desired and is way over priced, daycare is amazing but very expensive.
