      Comfortable, family-oriented company. A little old fashioned.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits and pension program. Medical after retirement. Good succession planning in company. Family-oriented environment, many loyal employees (except maybe in Marketing function). Finally have work/life balance program. Caring company. Merits and bonus still implemented so far. Open-minded and GBLT friendly.

      Cons

      Old fashioned. Cutting corners now in the wrong places. Only focus on high potentials and not so much the strong base and foundation of loyal employees lower on the totem pole, so few growth opportunities for them. Pay not necc competitive.

      Pros

      Colgate has excellent benefits and my personal experience has been one of rewarding professional development opportunities. I was able to complete my MBA during my first 2 years with the company. During a period of downsizing, I was given an opportunity to work in NJ. While it was a long commute, I at least continued to be employed.

      Cons

      The environment is pretty conservative, never really felt relaxed at work nor comfortable enough to share any problems I'd experience in the course of performing my role.

      Pros

      Discount on products. Work isn't too demanding. Decent working conditions. Okay pay. Stability, they say they don't normally fire people that have been hired.

      Cons

      Work is very very boring. There are tons of meetings. Pay is somewhat less than other positions. Work may not translate to other jobs.
