Business Outlook
Pros
The leadership positions at Clorox are filled primarily from within, by people who have shown themselves to be successful within the structure over time. This promotes highly developed levels of "institutional knowledge" and provides good role models for the system.
Cons
A highly competitive environment with explicit "up or out" people management generates aggressive/combative within team and cross-functional interactions. As a result, the culture rewards taking credit, not providing knowledge. Low to mid level contributors (below manager level) are often treated as "interchangeable parts" and are moved as company needs dictate, with little regard for employee morale.
