Current Employee – been working at Clorox full-time for more than a year

Pros – Clorox hires the best of talent, so when you come to work, you are working with the best of the best. People work together to form strong teams and company growth. It is a reliable company that has strong intentions of supporting their employees and name sake brands.

Cons – Very lean company, moving forward if you are in the field is limited. Company tends to make promises on promotion/timelines and doesn't follow through.

Advice to Senior Management – Move high talent people forward vs. who is the most convenient person. Clorox continues to loose top talent due to limitations set with relocation and promotion of convenience. It is disheartening and hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when Field sales continue to be over looked for promotions.

Former Employee – worked at Clorox full-time for more than a year

Pros – - Strong work life balance, and not in a pretend way, but in the fact that most ppl work 9-5
- Very collaborative, people will help you and training is readily available
- Pretty scrappy for a CPG company
- Ppl care about your feelings and you are not penalized for being transparent about not liking something

- Not a market leader in any sense of the word

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Clorox full-time

Pros – Good training, great people, decent work/life. Opportunities for advancement up to a certain level. People are for the most part all smart and highly efficient. If you don't fit the mold, you are kicked out pretty fast.

Cons – Tons of processes - this can mean tedious work and longer periods of time for all projects to run their course. Marketing is strong, but this means they automatically get the tallest seat of the table and run the show. Can make other departments feel less valued or insignificant.
