Pros

Well regarded in industry. Most employees live up to stated company purpose, values and principles. My experience is that most play fair, but play to win.

Cons

Disregard for "non exempt" employees as anonymous workhorses easily replaced. Constantly expected to deliver more (via "simplification" - lol), but compensation is not delivered proportionately. More experienced hourly employees will say that they have responsibilities now previously belonging to managers, but are not compensated at a commensurate level.

Pros

Good training available if you can find the time to take classes. good benefits good pay

Cons

rewards come to those that are smooth talkers and can use others to do their work. Past work experience (10+) mean nothing, you start at 0 at P&G. HR slow to react to abusive and hostel working conditions even with others support if manager is seen as effective.

Pros

A big name on your resume. working for P&G opens the door for many future opportunities in CPG industry. Great people to work with. Communication is open and sufficient, and you can make friends with many lovely co-workers. Great benefits.

Cons

Rating system is very political, does not always reflect the truth. your manager's personal preference plays a key role on your performance. Not all the low-level managers are qualified. Many of them were promoted given the number of years they serve the company but not their talent. Don't be surprise to see your manager gives you lots of foolish 'coaching' or screaming at you... This situation will particularly hurt the new hires with experience somewhere else. You have to get start from the bottom given the promot from within policy, but your manager probably doesn't have the qualification to understand your talent and skills at all! Very hard to transfer your skills and experiences to P&G if you are an experienced professional. You are encouraged to learn lots of complicated rules on how to get works done on P&G's way rather than your own, new ideas are not encouraged. Work itself are pretty boring in Canada.
