Pros

Colgate is a great company to work for a great people that really lean into the company values. Also, benefits are great with awesome bonus.

Cons

In order to move up, they want you to be well-rounded and take different types of roles within the company versus sticking with one type of role and being an expert.

Pros

Decent insurance, decent pay, some flexibility with hours

Cons

Management is elitist, has no direction, and treats employees under them like 3rd class citizens. Be ready to do their job for them, with no recognition while they reap all the benefits and expect you to do more.
