Pros

Leading company in its industry, unparalleled compensation in Columbus, OH. Many opportunities for growth without having to leave Columbus.

Unfriendly workplace, very challenging atmosphere. Turnover is very frequent at Scotts. VPs don't last more than a few years. The culture is aggressive and in your face. Be prepared to defend your opinions and be challenged at every turn.

Decision making is done in a "seat of the pants" type of environment. More attention needs to be given to analytics and supporting data. Concepts such as accountability and ownership are 4-letter words at Scotts.
