Pros
Great benefits that can even be applied to domestic partners and even live-in adult dependents. A challenging environment to not only grow, but enhance leadership (except in Lima).
Cons
The P&G Company was once a shining glory of American Business. The more than 100 year old company was a leader for all industries while humbly ticking along making some of the worlds best consumer products. Now, it has slacked a great deal and investors are on the fence--unsure about the future of P&G. A snap change of CEO's only to go right back to the last one, big bonus payouts to corporate within the last ten years just like every other major corporation milking the system (new for P&G), lazy internal compliance to the corporate values that allow small communities like Lima, Ohio with racial issues ruin the culture for everyone...the moral level (which PG holds sacred) is at an all time low. PG put Bob McDonald in only to introduce sweeping unpopular cuts to pay and a horrific overall of the progression system so he could take the blame, then ousted him to bring AG back as CEO....a ploy to fool investors. The company has been racked with threats of discrimination lawsuits only to settle nearly all of them out of court so investors don't see the true internal struggles. The moral issue has only been inflamed by a reduction in profit sharing investment, lower pay, top heavy management (which threaten the pioneered work system of TEAMS OF HIGHLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS RUN THE PLACE), and a rocky launch and slow acceptance by consumers of the POD technology (Soluble Unit Dose [Tide Pod Tabs]). Profit sharing just 10 years ago was at a 23% company match. It is down to 8%. People used to retire near millionaires if they invested properly, but now, we will never see those days again. Should we? Sure, when you work for one of the world's oldest companies that boast the most billion dollar brands of any company in history. We sure should expect to retire wealthy. Lima, Ohio is a Con in itself. It's drained the life out of the corporate value system and has killed the good PG Vibe that ran through employee's veins. It's a horrible feeling to work here now and job security is, well, uncertain. There are too many managers. Aside from discrimination and racism, the other biggest co is WORK-LIFE BALANCE. There IS NONE for a technician. 12-hr rotating schedules are hard on the body! P&G has conducted several studies and are aware of several scientific studies that prove the body is damaged with this system, yet they still allow employees to vote for it...they do so because of overtime allowances with it. POOR EXCUSE. Change the system and offer overtime (when needed) in a different fashion...BECAUSE IT'S BEST for the employee EVEN IF THEY CAN'T SEE IT.
