Pros

It is a medium size company to work for but has a global focus which keeps work interesting and fresh. They have lots of opportunity for advancement and change can happen as fast or slow as you want it to be.

Cons

Not as big as other companies and most people only think Colgate-Palmolive makes toothpaste(which isn't true). Colgate has growth potential.

The company is overly conservative, it is difficult to foster an entreprenuerial spirit in the US organization, but the conservatism has served us well in the poor economy
