Business model has a mayor flaw

Pros

P&G people always want to do the right thing and are extremely capable.

Cons

The reason the company grew a lot in the early 2000's was due to increased distribution/shelf space. There also was some real innovation which was the main selling platform for all the distribution. However, when shelf space ran out, price points bs. year ago also reached natural category ceilings, the whole model model imploded. Add to that the fact that competition has quickly reached very good levels of product performance for a much deeper price per use or absolute price and that explains the problem. Branding or brand legacies only take you so far when many other brands are offering a stranger value equation.

Pros

Very talented people. Decent compensation, especially profit sharing, if hired prior to change in the contribution scale. Decent benefits

Cons

Overall benefits have declined over the years: Healthcare costs continue to increase, Retirement benefits have declined as well. Forced tacked ranking is used. Recent head count reductions have caused stagnant promotions, as each band level is too full. Salary increases become almost non-existent if you have been "at band" for over 7 years. There is no "cost of living" increase, so over time, you may actually be earning less. P&G seems to be struggling with attracting and retaining the newer generation who want more control over their career. They don't rely on the premiss that P&G will always watch out for them and that they will have a life long career with them.
