Advice to Senior Management

Less time spent on data entry and more time focusing up against what is important. Out of stocks, displays and zoning.

Pros

Fantastic company and huge opportunities. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here and the knowledge I've gained! Think you'll struggle to find another company that spends so much on training and development - its awesome. Location is great too - being in Newcastle but on a London salary helps alot! Promote from within strategy is true - you really will not be shunned for some high performing exec - everyone starts at the bottom and determination gets you places!

Cons

Recognition is very poor for anyone below band 3, they get Star bonus'es and cars, where everyone else gets nothing! Very slow to adopt technology - change is difficult to implement, and mindset won't be changed!

Pros

Great people - P&G truly hires the best
Weekly meetings with direct manager to discuss progress and receive feedback
FLEXIBILITY

Cons

It is expected for salaried employees to work more than 8 hrs, but the job benefits, pay and people makes it worth it

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it up!

Pros

Opportunities for personal and professional growth, consistent feedback, Open-door policy, team atmosphere. Team off-sites were routine and helped to building lasting relationships. Work was engaging and customer team was an exciting place to work.

Business processes were slow to adapt. Work and Development Plans were often left to the last minute and fleshed out as the year progressed. No clear path for promotion between Admin/Tech role and manager role.

One of the principles is that the best people should remain at P&G. However, this is not happening in Mexico. Some TMCs are not good but they are rewarded by sending them to another country. This is very disappointing for the people who are really good at their work.
