Pros
1. P&G is a great place to train to be a general manager. You will learn how to run a business. 2. P&G is getting back to valuing excellence in marketing, and not just excellence in business results. One can now have a career as a brilliant marketer and not just as a brilliant manager. 3. P&G is so big that there are practically endless opportunities to learn new things whether it is different categories, different geographies, different roles, different types of marketing (consumer, retail, corporate, brand etc.) 4. P&G is ethical - I really do sleep well at nights because I know we do think of our consumers, our shareholders and our partners. We speak and act with respect.
Cons
1. Only people who are "golden" really have any chance of moving up in the company. And these golden children usually ride the coattails of their boss. Everyone is pretty darn smart at P&G so style and personality seem to be what decides who gets promoted. We need another boom like the internet to deal with stagnation. 2. Cincinnati. If you don't have allergies before you come here, you will. The city is a big city that acts very small (and not in a good way). There is no mountain, no lake, no ocean, no forest. The closest decent city is Chicago.
