    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Pays well if you’ve been there long enough

    Cons

    The turn around of employees should tell you something is wrong, this is not the same company it used to be, they continue to take away and not give, have a ridiculous way of giving raises based on an entire dept rather than individuals, it’s impossible to move to a normal work/life balance when you’re stuck on back shifts or take a pay cut to move to 1st, newer employees stuck at same pay with minimal raises but asked to do the same job as higher tier employees, and management? From the top down? where do I begin 👎

    Depressing

    Sep 1, 2022 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Benefits are good. renovated office building, nice cafeteria.

    Cons

    - Pay is not that great - work from home policy sucks, you only get to work from home 1 day a week and need to live 20 miles or more away. Stupid WFH policy, especially for having to commute to the Racine downtown location. Nobody lives in Racine, it's a sketchy city with too many bad neighborhoods. Why would I need to commute everyday to do a job I can do at home and be more efficient at it than doing it at the office?? - After COVID, all the talent left the company, and a huge number of the workforce is new to SCJ. Nobody sticks around for more than 2 years, everyone leaves because of the WFH policy. It gets really depressing when you work and see all these ppl leaving. - Onboarding is not smooth, and you just get left there to "figure it out" because the talents that were supposed to train you left the company. - the open concept office environment sucks. You can't focus doing your own work and it seems that everyone can see your monitor, making it hard to work on confidential work. Or if you decide to take a 5 minute break, it will seem that you are not working.
