Pros

A great company for college grads. Excellent training programs that keep getting better.

Cons

Not so great for mid-career professionals. Difficult to move up, get noticed and shine. If you were a rock star at another company, you will be only "so-so" at Clorox. Hard work and loyalty hardly get you noticed but being well connected (political) can. A bad review from one manager (whether you deserved it or not) can completely derail your career to the point that it may not be worth staying. The many awards meant to motivate and incent are becoming something of a joke with some and are creating a "Hunger Games" mentality with others. Very difficult to take a real vacation as most managers expect their direct reports to stay in constant contact with the office and regularly check emails at the very least, do work while on vacation at the most.

Pros

Unlimited PTO: Flexible paid time off, subject to manager approval. Location: A better location for a CPG company. People: Friendly and smart coworkers.

Cons

Training and development: Training quality lags best-in-class CPG companies (e.g., P&G), where many senior marketing hires developed their foundational capabilities. The culture also places less emphasis on career development, mentorship, and internal talent growth. Compensation: Salary is not competitive relative to the Bay Area cost of living, and medical insurance options are expensive, making it difficult for many employees to build a long-term career in the region without external financial support. Career progression: Limited opportunities for advancement due to the organizational structure and low turnover in senior leadership. Technology and tools: Systems, technology, and ways of working lag modern standards despite being headquartered in the world's leading innovation hub. Culture: A risk-averse culture can slow decision-making and innovation.
