Getting promoted takes many years

Pros

The hours are really the best. If your manager approved your flex time that is a great option too.

Cons

Managers do not promote within. Excuses are made when you finally get the guts to ask for a promotion. Some managers do not have the backs of their group. communication is awful.

Cons

If you are a young professional looking for energetic, fun, and innovative place to work - this is NOT the place for you. 1. Slow and mediocre projects. Lack of Innovation. 2. Business processes and systems are way outdated. 3. Weak / unqualified managers - lack of foresight and vision. 4. Very old school culture

Pros

Health benefits still remain strong Salary was acceptable The office in Atlanta has a mostly pleasant culture in my opinion Opportunities are still available provided you want to move Company store with Colgate products at cost

Cons

I started with the company at a time when all other companies had already done most of their major layoffs and outsourcing. Colgate was behind in this effort it seems. In order to keep up with their competitors and keep the stock prices high, they went from a very caring company to a slow shift of job elimination through outsourcing and "efficiency and optimization" efforts. So having said that, here are the cons: Very limited opportunities outside of moving from different states or countries Feeling that your job could be outsourced at any time Entire company shift to cost cutting has reduced quality of everything from our work to our actual products and packaging
