Colgate-Palmolive reviews

Salary not competitive Work tends to get boring Slow growth, promotions based on every other year regardless of contributions Performance reviews based on seniority, work enough years and you'll reach the top Talent retention issues while others just get by doing nothing IT management are non technical folks making technical decisions

Once you are given a task and you excel at it, you're basically "stuck". You are known as the expert after a few successful launches, project completions, etc. and it is difficult (at best) to get an opportunity to try something new. Several people had to leave the Company just to get an opportunity to try another area. The Company seems to be doing more now to address this issue as many are being approved for short-term assignments in other areas. It is tough to find great managers. Many bosses have amazing personalities with lots of expertise and knowledge - but struggle with effective people management skills. Hopefully the Company will begin the process of training new leaders earlier in their career vs. waiting until managerial promotions occur to train them. It is probably too late then.... Promotions are DIFFICULT to earn. Seriously. You can prove yourself to be ready for promotion, only to have your job responsibilities "updated" or "revised" and you have to start all over again to prove yourself. This can happen more than once, and in this way many years can pass without a promotion.
