Pros

There are always new challenges to face that test your job skills. As a result, you not only build upon your current skills, but gain the confidence to face ongoing challenges.

Cons

There are too many challenges at once. So much so, that you feel you cannot apply yourself as you would like to because you have to move on to the next project. Sometimes I feel like no matter what I do or how hard I work it will never be enough, because so many projects are left undone and then re-visited later. It’s frustrating and I believe sometimes unproductive in the long run.

Pros

Procter and Gamble is a large stable employer who does not lay people off or fire them (even if they're incompetent or lazy or both). They have some very well developed systems which are quite invovled to learn but give people good training in running a business. Very disciplined organization (bordering on the Gestapo). Seems to genuinly care about their people.

Cons

Very autocratic and bureaucratic envinronment. Politically is very hierarchical. Talking to anybody above your boss could be cause for career suicide. People work there their entire careers - so perspective of the outside is lacking. They not only don't embrace change - they recoil from it. Lack of any professional development. P&G does not encourge people to participate in professional organizations or professional development. This has led to loyal employees who are clueless to what's going on in the outside world and how to best adapt to it. Many employees view P&G as it's own little world from which they choose not to venture out of.
