Pros

When i was initially looking for jobs I had many many opportunities presented to me. The reason i choose Procter is because i can learn all the technical skills in the world, but leadership skills are something very hard to come by and Procter only focuses on hiring and developing world class leadership talent.

Cons

Cincinnati, OH although a medium sized city can be a bit of a downer. The public transportation sucks. In the company itself you have to hit the ground running and you often work many more then 40 hours a week. I suggest that you take a hard look at your life and decide if your ready to start running with some of the most competitive and inteligent people in the world because your life is going to be put on the back burner for the first couple of years.

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
