Pros

Good benefits for being a part of Colgate. Company car, reimbursed phone, internet, and they supply you with everything you need. Good Product and excellent training on the product itself. Great for young and unattached professionals looking to build a career.

Cons

No accountability to management so you can try to get away with anything, but so can your bosses. Too much overnight travel Bad for families Bad for veterans (prepare for miserable treatment and disrespect if anyone finds out you're a veteran. They'll treat you like garbage, ask inappropriate questions, treat you differently than other employees, and overall make you feel unwelcome.) If you want a promotion, you have to relocate. Absolutely minimal marketing support for the Pet Team. All of the resources go to the more profitable veterinary side of the business. High turnover means more work for the ones that stay. Many people left while I was on the team. If you look across the country, you'll see many openings for this position. (See the Hill's Pet Nutrition page of Glassdoor and you'll find more of this same job. They split it so it doesn't look like too many vacancies, but they are plentiful). This job isn't some summer gig you get between semesters, this is a full-on career that people are abandoning left and right because of abusive management and lack of support. Don't work here if you love your spouse or your children. You will barely see them and you'll have a manager that doesn't care about you or them. If you hate your family and would rather work all the time on a Sisyphean task, go ahead and apply; you'll be in good company.

Pros

Good fringe benefits. Above average insurance.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. Company promotes work life balance however meetings are scheduled during lunch and at 5:00pm. People are made to stand in daily plant meetings, no chairs in the rooms. Particularly hard on shop floor staff who work 12hr shifts. I NEVER had time to take a lunch hour the entire time I worked there. Phone calls at home daily/nightly(middle of the night) and almost every day every weekend as OTLs are poorly trained. Company promotes inclusion however Americans are bullied particularly by hispanics within the company. Company touts multiculturalism but does no training on dealing with other cultures. Entire plant Planning staff turned over in less than 2 years. Very stressful work environment cause by high-school like drama by LT. Managers are routinely put in PEP for issues months after they occur. No support whatsoever from Planning manager, HR or Leadership Team. Training is ALL online, when asked LT for help with SAP questions...response was to GOOGLE it. Direct manager was initially a STA with major inflated sense of self. Final manager was novice at managing people and very childish. Again, very toxic work environment overall.
