Pros

Very good pay and benefits. Medical benefits decline every year but that is probably the same everywhere. Excellent 401k employer match.

Cons

Creativity is discouraged. Good performance is viewed as not having made any mistakes with no reward for achievements. Extremely political environment. People are very frendly to your face but refuse to work together. All work that requires skill and talent is outsourced. Advancement is achieved by networking and favors. There is a rigid policy for almost everything. Strickly following the policy is more important than the results. Procedure and policies make accomplishing anything take five times longer than necessary.

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
