Pros

Highly talented and dedicated coworkers. Everyone is willing and able to take on huge responsibilities/workloads and work long hours. Great company values...respectful and fair to everyone. Great job security and stability through good economies and bad. Excellent training and development not only for your career, but for you life, too. Excellent healthcare and retirement benefits. P&G believes 'the interests of the company and employee are inseparable' and it shows.

Cons

Not a place for people who want an easy 9-5 job. Must be willing to take personal sacrifices for the good of the team. Requires patience with a time-consuming process for agreeing on decisions, and tolerance of difficult Corporate requirements. Tough competition for promotions.

Pros

-Strong training ground for brand management -Managers are good for the most part

Cons

-Unfortunately this generation of VPs, SVPs Presidents, C-Suite and CEO are among the worst I've ever seen; soul draining culture and "frantic" versus thought-through strategies. Because P&G is up-or-out, unfortunately everyone who is at that level all operate the same: an obsession with work, high panic which ultimately leads to beating down on the organization to do more while not actually caring about the employees. There is an enormous mental health crisis in the Procter & Gamble walls right now that HR and leadership is just simply not looking to change because business results are more important to them -Career growth is a joke - 100% politics, 0% merit. Some of the most recent appointments within the company are very good examples of this specifically with multiple promotions to executive levels with questionable results and known emotionally abusive issues but are mentees of the CEO -Very weak compensation structure vs CPG peers (even though P&G does not think this). They claim cost of living in Cincinnati makes it competitive but if they did a true deep dive on total comp structure, P&G is abysmal after your first 2 years there
