We believe cultivating diversity and inclusion is fundamental to how we hire, retain and inspire the best people. Take a look at how we’re making diversity and inclusion a top priority today and for the future.
In 1992, we established our Office of Diversity to recognize and support the unique backgrounds, talents and abilities of our people. Since then our offices across the globe have been recognized as a best place to work by Working Mother magazine, U.S. Veteran’s Magazine, Black EOE Journal, the Great Place to Work Institute and more.
We know it can be tough to find your people at a large organization, which is why we’ve built the infrastructure so you’re not just meeting your colleagues, but connecting on issues that matter and making changes that have a profound impact on the company and community-at-large.
Our eight employee-driven business councils in the United States provide support and networking opportunities such as mentoring, community outreach, career development and cultural awareness activities.
Once you’ve identified the role you’re interested in, create an account and complete our online application. You’ll upload a resume, share your work experience and answer a few brief application questions.
If you have to take a break from the application, we’ll save a draft of the information you’ve already entered so you can pick up where you left off.
We do our best to keep the interview process as simple as possible.
One phone interview to discuss your professional background and career aspirations as well as to provide more detailed information on the role
An in-person or live video interview day when you’ll meet the hiring manager and members of an interview panel.
During our interviews, we ask candidates to respond to questions using the STAR method. STAR stands for situation, task, action and result of the situation – please be prepared to discuss each when you respond to interview questions.
We understand that as much as we’re looking to learn more about you during the interview process, you’re getting to know us too. We’ll make sure there’s time for you to ask questions you have about the role, the team, future career opportunities and more. In cases where we have to conduct an interview remotely, we’ll be sure to provide an opportunity for you to visit the office location during the process.
We’ll provide as much notice and flexibility as possible when scheduling interviews. We like to keep the process moving along at this stage, so we’ll strive to provide a two-day notice for phone and live video interview requests and three- to five-day notice for on-site interviews, depending on the amount of travel necessary.
After your interviews are complete, we will keep in touch with updates as the process moves along. Please look for initial outreach from your recruiter two to three business days after your interview. We will follow up to let the successful candidate know the interview process is complete within seven days.
As a family-led organization, we put the people of SC Johnson first. Our very comprehensive and competitive benefits packages are designed to support SC Johnson peoples’ lives and families. Take a look at some of the ways we compensate our employees for their hard work and dedication to living the spirit of SC Johnson.
SC Johnson’s total compensation packages are at or above industry levels, and include elements including base salary, bonuses, long-term incentives and benefits. Importantly, we regularly check in with external benchmarks and internal measures to ensure people at the company are fairly compensated.
Compensation goes beyond merely a paycheck. Other elements in our total compensation package include profit sharing based on company profitability, job level and years of service; matching on 401(k) contributions; and potential bonus payments based on job performance.
The company’s benefit programs include elements such as subsidized health care benefits, maternity/paternity/adoption leave, recreation and fitness centers, vacation purchase options, paid sabbaticals, flexible work arrangements, counseling services, child care, onsite training and more. Different countries have different offerings, but all are competitive in the local marketplace.
As a family company, SC Johnson believes in helping employees care for their families, too. That’s why SC Johnson operations around the world offer a variety of family-oriented programs, including in many countries generous maternity/paternity/adoption leave, child care, family volunteer events, scholarships for students and more.
For five generations, our company has been at work to make communities stronger. We take time to support initiatives in health care, education, economic development, environmental sustainability and more to make the world a better place.
SC Johnson employees across the globe regularly roll up their sleeves to lend a hand through volunteerism. Many share their time with worthy organizations, including community food banks and other service organizations. We’ve led a cleanup event at a Mexican nature reserve, inspired kids to read in Racine, introduced new radio technology to remote Rwandan communities, provided quality education to young girls in India, and raised more than $600,000 to help the people of SC Johnson Japan affected by natural disasters. Everywhere you look, our employees are improving the world around them and embodying what it means to live the SC Johnson way.
