Colgate-Palmolive Employee Review
Great place to grow, bad place for balance
Sales (Former Employee) - Johannesburg - 24 October 2022
Great opportunities to grow. Good salary. They invest in your development and provide great opportunities. Most of the people are really nice. On the flip side working there comes with high stress and poor work life balance. Be prepared to work very long hours. Systems need to be modernised and EQ not always present in company. Good MD (firm, fair and compassionate ) in 2021, and some of his Exco team.Carrot and stick approach by management ...but the stick has a sharp blade at the end.
Pros
Nice people, global company, sales development
Cons
Long hours, high stress, poor systems management
