      When a position has such a high rotation, there's something wrong

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Global company Great benefits (unless you hold a pseudo "temporary" position) Professional growth opportunities (unless you hold a pseudo "temporary" position)

      Cons

      No record of temporary positions and why they exist Upper management is not questioned as of why assistant / administrative positions are "temporary", yet have "indefinite" contracts (So the high rotation of the people occupying that position is not measured) No work / life balance

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Diverse colleagues Practical approach to marketing Great products Lots of exposure to senior executives Global movement highly probable Multifunctional teams allows for good sharing of best practices Best in class for margin improvement without compromising quality of products Great place for working mothers

      Cons

      Talks a lot about innovative problem solving and "out of the box" thinking but does not promote it or reward it among employees. Too conservative...kills creativity Like many corporations squeaky wheels get very far without Providing much results for the company No risk taking In Europe, vis a vis competition, colgate is more of a reactive company, not proactive in approach to their brands. .
