Pros

If you work in a strong group with good people, things will be good; but because people must change roles every 1-2 years, they won't stay consistent. You do learn alot, gain good experience, and get compensated well for your efforts.

Cons

You will be required to change roles or move every several years to advance. You will be rated against a scale with your peers, where the bottom quartile (whether deserving to be there or not) will be filtered out the organization. For this reason, there is a strong competitive attitude with little incentive for people to actually help one another. You will not receive training or guidance on your job, and will be at the mercy of you manager to defend you during a ratings session. You will deal with people who are good, but also ones that are manipulative and self-serving. You will rarely feel good about yourself or your work at the end of the day.

Pros

Fantastic training and development on marketing/management fundamentals - the best in the business. Truly work with top talent. Relatively accessible decision-making/ownership (even at the Brand Manager level). Heritage and prestige of working there. Great coaching on communication, positioning, leadership.

Cons

Has become very insular. Given promote-from-within culture and today's economic/job environment, it has become much more political than ever; feels more like a shark tank than it ever used to. Morale dropping considerably. Just does not feel quite like the P&G we knew and signed up for many years ago. Length of time between promotions has expanded considerably. ALOT of contraction at the top levels (Associate MD and above) so that advancement is extremely difficult, even if you're a water-walker....much less if you're "just" a strong/very strong performer. Too much advocacy, networking, jockeying and positioning/politics required nowadays - particularly in Cincinnati area.
