      Great company for your first job out of MBA school, but not the best to work later in your career.

      Pros

      Training at early stages in your career like right out of MBA school. You get great general managment experience, heavy P&L and analyitical experience.

      Cons

      Once you've worked at other companies, you realize that Reckitt is an intense environment, you are expected to be married to your job. Working until 9 or 10pm on a regualr basis is normal. Also, unless you are working in the Food division, the brand categories are very boring and not very exciting. There are TV media budgets on most brands, but shooting a AirWick or LYSOL ad is not too exciting.

      Great multicultural exposure. Be prepared to be worked to death.

      Pros

      Multicultural exposure, Well respected Brands, Career Growth Opportunities, Great Bonuses (Normally 20% - 40% for sales managers), solid strategic sales plans

      Cons

      Horrible work/life balance, Great bonuses come at a price - massive work load, Promotions are based on performance but workaholics generally have the upper hand, summer hours offered but many can't take due to work load and fear of being labeled a slacker, World HQ in Britain has a very tight control on US business; especially dealing with product innovation and launch decisions, Hiring managers working in US favor others from their home country - special projects & career opportunities, too lean on manpower, Reckitt flies by the seat of it's pants; many new items are presented to customers prematurely and then canceled; making reps look like fools, constant (over)-confrontation and brow beating is encouraged but gets old
