      Pros

      Most of management were experienced and compassionate.

      Cons

      The large territories made it difficult to reach all accounts. In most territories it was impossible to reach all accounts. All though accounts are rated by their level of importance to the business, the smaller accounts still wanted attention, and due to time constraints reps are unable to provide personalized customer service that some accounts were used to from other manufacturers.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      strong brand name, stable, people have strong team work spirit. you can have the individual development plan negotiated with the manager and work against it. A caring company.

      Cons

      pay is not competitive compared to peer CPG companies. local managers' competencies varied across different countries. In some of the market, Colgate becomes the follower of P&G, and the strategies keep change or the time. Lack of long term strategic planning. Sales driven. Marketing is relatively weak. The degree of localization is low. Glass ceiling is even exist for local senior managers. Foreign managers do not necessary show the respect to local employees.
