Pros

the people are great - super motivated to do the right thing and a passion for winning makes it a fun place to work. The company really does live by its PVP = Purpose, Values & Principles so I've never left work thinking that I was asked to do something where my integrity was compromised.

Cons

it seems like its always do more with less; which makes it an excellent company to invest in but can burn out people. We have a lot of "type a" personalities so individually we're as much to blame as the company as we continually rise to the challenge since they hire people who don't want to let anyone down or to not achieve a goal

Pros

Definitely the opportunity to learn. They call it P&G university for a reason. Great place to start your career without a doubt. The whole culture, organization and managers are prepared to receive you blank and train you. They are accepting of errors and have a great coaching system

Cons

Great salary and compensation as a new hire, but as time passes the salary does not grow as fast as one would want. Other alternatives outside become more attractive from a money standpoint. Additionally, being such a large company things do move slowly given huge procedures and alignment. Sometimes it feels like you just have to follow a recipe as everthing has already been done before. Different from smaller companies where you have more opportunity to create new stuff, new procedures, new ways to do business

Pros

The promote from within mentality means that there is amazing training opportunities. Many folks start out of college and are groomed in P&G ways. It's almost like an MBA. There is a large focus on skill development. It is a very honest and ethical place to work. The pay is competitive and you will be working with and for some very competent people.

Cons

Procter is so large that you tend to have to stay in one function. Or move at early stages of your career. This limits your ability to move up and impact the business in different ways. Unless you start in Brand. As a US manager there is a good chance you will be located in Cincinnati. International assignments have dried up considerably and travel dollars are dwindling.
