Pros

Great training, smart, ambitious & interesting co-workers, marketing experience does wonders for your resume, half-day Fridays during the summer, fair (but not great) compensation, convenient to BART - great job to have if you live in SF.

Cons

The people who succeed at Clorox fit a certain "mold" or "profile"; if you're anything different than this profile (even if it's for better), you won't last too long there - it's an up-or-out culture. It is a very conservative company and it takes a lot of buy-in to get anything achieved...so if you're looking for somewhere where you have freedom to be autonomous and to try new things, this is not the place to do it at.

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.
