Pros

They used to mentor, pay for education at top business schools, you get the P&G pedigree, work hours are not long, contractors do most of the heavy lifting, you are mainly there to provide leadership, not do grunt work

Cons

After assistant brand manager, it is mainly up or out. Many postings are to remote corners of the world, which may require either years long parting from the family or your spouse to give up his or her career. Lately with the shedding of the brands, its like layoffs all the time, without the actual layoffs occurring at P&G, those are taken care of by those purchasing the brands.

Pros

Employees truly seem to value each other as people. Conversations start with "how are you" and not just as a formality. There is flexibility to working hours for appointments etc. Skill development is great.

Cons

P&G underpays for many places outside of Cincinnati - pay is location agnostic more or less. The cost of living there is notably lower than elsewhere. The benefits (retirement and health) used to make up for it but no longer due, especially for the newest of hires.
