Pros

The only hire the best, which makes it a fun and challenging place to work. It's exciting to see the things you work on every day at the shelf at Wal-Mart and Target. The compensation is excellent and the culture is top notch compared to other companies I've worked for.

Cons

Because they hire the best, getting to "the top" can be challenging. The career model in F&A is clear, but doesn't make it any easier to accept how long it takes to make it to "executive" level. If you come in with previous work experience or an MBA, you basically are credited 2-3 years and your clock starts from there. It is common for me to work with people my age that are 1-2 levels ahead of me simply because they started straight from undergrad. So, you have to learn to swallow your pride.

Pros

-Strong training ground for brand management -Managers are good for the most part

Cons

-Unfortunately this generation of VPs, SVPs Presidents, C-Suite and CEO are among the worst I've ever seen; soul draining culture and "frantic" versus thought-through strategies. Because P&G is up-or-out, unfortunately everyone who is at that level all operate the same: an obsession with work, high panic which ultimately leads to beating down on the organization to do more while not actually caring about the employees. There is an enormous mental health crisis in the Procter & Gamble walls right now that HR and leadership is just simply not looking to change because business results are more important to them -Career growth is a joke - 100% politics, 0% merit. Some of the most recent appointments within the company are very good examples of this specifically with multiple promotions to executive levels with questionable results and known emotionally abusive issues but are mentees of the CEO -Very weak compensation structure vs CPG peers (even though P&G does not think this). They claim cost of living in Cincinnati makes it competitive but if they did a true deep dive on total comp structure, P&G is abysmal after your first 2 years there
