Pros

The pay is good especially for longer term employees. Cash profit sharing is a very nice benefit. New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - decreasing costs and benefits and increasing profitably (presumably).

Cons

New senior management that's been brought in over the last several years is completely changing this company - slashing jobs. Replacing SCJ US jobs with contract positions in India and elsewhere. They see very little value in the skills and experience of the existing workforce. The prior senior and middle managers have no ability or power to drive existing projects. Their mandate is to enforce the restructuring driven from above. Long term employees have been abandoned and driven from the company. No career advancement opportunities for younger, less costly, employees. Little future as an employee.

Pros

Get experience at a Large global CPG company

Cons

Since "transformation" implemented f In past year, they gave laid off a record # employees. Result is many people doing jobs of what uses to be handled by multiple people. The title refers to fact that they are spending a significant amount of money on consultants & agencies while actual employees are extremely overworked and stressed. Very silioed and bureaucratic company.

Pros

Strong benefits program for Racine based employees which includes recreation facility, child care services, and off site meeting space for business and personal use.

Cons

Culture is changing to very aggressive performance based with short term business objectives. Leaders are in a state of flux due to a lack of actionable consumer insights and product innovation which meets today's consumer needs.
