Pros

Great place to learn the core marketing skills that will be invaluable in any marketing or GM type role. Good GM training with significant early responsibility on projects. Good cross-functional exposure - you learn to develop strong influencing skills or you will sink. Good overall compensation package, especially for MBAs and the very low cost of living in Cincinnati.

Cons

It is becoming ever more process oriented. This largely depends on the brand you work on but too often the proces trumps the intent. the promotion time lines have increased so you're looking at 10 years to get to Director (athough that is significant responsibility - P&L for a Billion Dollar brand)

Pros

The brand name of the Company provides a great brand recognition. Additionally, the people that work there are very friendly and the working environment is relaxed

Cons

There is a lack of direction in terms of career progression and advancement, however, everything else is very positive, and I have nothing to complain about.

Pros

Fantastic training and development on marketing/management fundamentals - the best in the business. Truly work with top talent. Relatively accessible decision-making/ownership (even at the Brand Manager level). Heritage and prestige of working there. Great coaching on communication, positioning, leadership.

Cons

Has become very insular. Given promote-from-within culture and today's economic/job environment, it has become much more political than ever; feels more like a shark tank than it ever used to. Morale dropping considerably. Just does not feel quite like the P&G we knew and signed up for many years ago. Length of time between promotions has expanded considerably. ALOT of contraction at the top levels (Associate MD and above) so that advancement is extremely difficult, even if you're a water-walker....much less if you're "just" a strong/very strong performer. Too much advocacy, networking, jockeying and positioning/politics required nowadays - particularly in Cincinnati area.
