Pros

SC Johnson had some of the best and brightest working for them. The culture was one of cross functional engagement and true collaboration focusing on what was right for the customers and the business. During my career at SCJ, I saw a drastic decline in culture and structure driven from upper management that permeated all levels of the organization. Though I would still consider SCJ a good place to work I would proceed with caution.

Cons

Uncertain future ownership structure. Culture decline has let organization short of talent as many left the company. Some of those remaining may be struggling.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
