Pros

Not many pros for me as it's been a horrible experience. I did gain some skills but I had to dig for them on my own. P&G does offer a "My Learning" tool but it's only good if you use the skills once the course is taken. P&G is changing with the announcement of their reorganization design. I do believe in the change and believe it is good as employees tend to jump around from job and business unit so quick , mastery is never created. They do give away a lot of free product and to employees and there are panel coupons you can use to buy product. (Tax is taken out of your pay check)

Cons

P&G is not a promote within company. Hard work is not rewarded. Color of your skin and where you were born receives the promotion and the job. If you are a white male, just save your time and go work for another company. Slow company... P&G systems do not talk with each other and the email. Most people old and new are afraid to pick up the phone or have a face to face conversation. P&Ger's fear confrontation. People jump around from job to job so quickly that mastery is never created.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
