Overall one of the best companies to work for, however the salaries are not market related. Opportunities for advancement are limited in that no processes are put in place for sideways movement
very interesting place to be for starters because they have a solid foundation with basics of how a person needs to know how to work in an industry. Team is very friendly and committed to working

It was an honor and a privilege to work for Procter and Gamble for almost 9 years. The Work Place Culture is ideal, since the company puts values and morals above all else and always strive to do the honest and right thing in business. When this is upheld, then the attitudes of the work colleagues are positive and make it an environment where people want to help each other to do their best in the company.

Great place to work. Enjoyed all the roles I had and the people I worked with on a daily basis. I was continuously challenged and learnt a lot. The company offers best in class benefits and the management is constantly seeking feedback on how to improve.
Pros
Stock ownership plan, discounted staff shop, off-site events, healthcare, pension plan
Cons
Work life balance
Most of the time was located to sfety and to issue permits. The reason was the people not sure how to address the Basic principals and to overcome the urgency
My day consisted of supporting Procter and Gamble's internal employees. Support ranged from assisting employees with desktop, laptop, and peripheral issues, imaging new laptops for current or new employees, setup and configure DECT office phones and mobile phones (iPhones), performed IT on-boarding for new employees, performed inventory and asset management of all IT equipment, and liaised with vendors in configuring IT equipment and/or supporting any malfunctioning or defective IT equipment.
Working for Procter and Gamble allowed me to increase and improve upon my current knowledge of IT support and procedures, including but not limited to: problem troubleshooting, customer interaction, asset and inventory management, meeting customer expectations, and mobile support.
Management and I worked smoothly and in sync together without any hassles to ensure that the employees were constantly operating at 100% efficiency. Any concerns or issues between management and myself were handled in private and in a professional manner.
Procter and Gamble was an excellent company with a diverse culture of people. Everyone I supported or interacted with were fun and easygoing.
The hardest part of working for Procter and Gamble was not with the employees but with the external vendors. At times, due to time differences and availability, connecting with a vendor was a difficult endeavor and therefore, there were slight delays in resolving issues. However, this was a minor issue and workarounds were always in place.

My typical day was, I will start by going through my e-mail and internet queries and orders, and capture the orders accordingly, and reply back to the customer about their queries, I had a good understanding manager, and he always compliment me on a work well done, The work culture is awesome, the people are very friendly and it is an open office policy which is great, I personally think to work in an open office environment is a good thing, it also give you the opportunity to know the people better that your work with and learn what they are doing. the most enjoyable part of my job was that I was also part of a team and was also invited in meetings with the perm stuff to discuss daily reports and monthly reports and targets, and was given the opportunity to raise my concerns and solutions.
Pros
the company is centralize in Sandton Johannesburg
Cons
perm jobs of contract and temp was a no promising
Procter and gamble is a very good company with very poor management, at procter and gamble you don't get to grow your career, if the manager doesn't like you for personal reasons then you will be stuck on a same position and salary for years
This is a company with very high principles and values which are not just on the company website, they are principles and values that almost everyone leaves by on a daily bases. I loved their system of promoting from within as it allows the company to focus on people's skills development. Unfortunately job security is not a big priority for P&G.
Pros
High Energetic organisation, good salaries, very competitive, Flexible working hrs and being able to move from one department to another when career needs change.
Cons
Job security, Performance rating system
Great Global Company to work for, but regional offices might not be up to global standards. Senior management is vital to the atmosphere created within the office.
Cons
Long Hours
Clear systems and structure in place with a clear and detailed expectation of what is required from you anf your position. Clear annual goals and targets to be met.
Love working at this company, employees are treated with respect. integrity is the biggest value. Work place is very friendly, growth is available to employees. The only challenge is that I never have time for my family as I work far and have to travel for about 4 hours in traffic.
Very great and supportive culture. Great people and a fun, relaxed environment. I enjoyed it a lot. Hours were also very chilled. Lots of trust and mutual respect.
It was good. I grew to quite a few positions while in their employ. I have learnt a lot while.working there. Gained a lot of experience. Management at the time was very supportive of one growth. They invest in their employees.
