Pros
The pay and benefits are decent. And if you happen to be in any of the minority groups getting diversity and inclusion media coverage and also can work office politics to your advantage, you’ve got a shot at rapid advancement in highly visible roles. GOJO desperately wants to be seen as being on trend here, so you can use that to your advantage.
Cons
Intentional ambiguity. They tell you upfront how ambiguous everything is, but never do anything to make it better. Leadership uses it as an excuse for bad behavior. They used to really care about employees. But that changed once their new leadership team took over a couple years ago. If you can pull off creating the perception that you care, but deep down you ruthlessly don’t, you’re a good candidate for leadership at GOJO. GOJO has become very cut throat and political. I worked there for many years and loved that the culture was authentic, caring and non-political, but that drastically changed in the past couple years. This is a family-owned business on its 3rd generation of owners. This generation is the first to be born into extreme wealth. They don’t understand, appreciate, or relate well to the common people breaking their backs to sustain their lavish lifestyle. GOJO discriminates against older workers. You reach a certain age there and they either move you into a lame role or let you go.
