Pros

Competitive salary & good benefits

Cons

Lousy culture, management only think well of foreigners & NUS/NTU young graduates. Too many office politics. Middle management dominated mostly by Filipinos and foreigners that some departments are becoming mango plantations. Especially APASC

Pros

Great pay, benefits and support for growth. Business is usually very stable though declining industry for sure in most of the economically developed countries.

Cons

Big organization, and many different kinds and levels of job. Sales representative can be tough and demanding. Only focusing on cigarette, which is highly regulated and different from other FMCGs, your knowledge and expertise would be somewhat very limited.

Pros

Excellent training and development. I gained leadership and coaching training (about 8 full days in all over a 6 month period). Also, training on negotiation which was a fantastic course (2 days), commercial awareness (1 day)and PRINCE2 certification as I was managing projects.

Cons

Fairly political Who you know, regardless of your competence, can see you move up the ladder. Some play it well, whereby their deliverables are average in quality & have a negative impact on other areas of the business, BUT they are great as selling it to their supervisor regarding how great a job they did.
