Pros

P&G truly values it's employees, their families, and their work/life balance. The company rewards those who have a desire to succeed and lead. Even those who struggle are treated with respect and truly valued. They are led down the right path for them, whether that's improvement to continue with P&G, or continue on to another firm of the employee's choice. Regardless, this is a great family company with great values. Plus, it's stable--despite the economy, people will always buy toilet paper, soap, and diapers ;-)

Cons

Stiff competition--P&G hires top performers, so the bar is high when you start.

Pros

-P&G is wonderful at giving you large responsibility and the power to take your career into your own hands. Training is abundant and they will give you the tools you need for success. -Great at linking different parts of the company to other arts that do similar work. They promote networking and linking in across organizations to get work done better. -Praise and positive criticism is kept on a profesional level and does not include personal opinions. -Strong support for what is best for their employees such as time off, relocation and going back to school part time or on sabbatical.

Cons

Easy to get caught in information due to enormous size of the company. Conservative culture leads to red tape and bureaucracy which sometimes makes the job more difficult and complex.

Pros

if you are young when entering the company and have a masters degree and live in Cinci it can be a good career. I am also very happy with my pay and really the advances I have made given my age which for P&G is old. I personally am happy with the benfits packages and the health care plan. Mine is much better than the majority of my friends and family in the workforce at comprable positions in their companies.

Cons

If you enter the company after the age of 40 there is very little advancement. Out in the field, and I did not put my state or city, it is a different picture. Especially if you entered the work force late in life or you are in a channel that is not well respected.In sales the biggest disconnect is the lack of "real life" experience of the leadership teams in the channel. Very few have real sales experience and consequently the same mistakes are repeated time and time again. That is the most frustrating aspect of employment with P&G. Management is so proctorized that they are unable or unwilling to listen to those under them about the "really reallys". Goals are always "stretch goals" because they are unrealistic. I realize every management team makes mistakes. But, as a stock holder it is appalling that management is unable to learn from past mistakes. That is because mistakes are never admitted or passed down for others to learn from and not repeat. I like celebrating accomplishments, but we also need to learn from the past not ignore it to our detriment. Geez look at what is happening with Pringles!!
