It's tough, really tough - but boy do I enjoy working here!

 

Hi everyone.
This is a good title for a post, isn't it? Today I'll talk to you what it's really like working at RB and all the responsibilities that are involved in the process.
Because, let's be honest: RB is not a place for everyone.

It is not enough to want to work here - you must really, really want it, because it is not an easy task.
You'll work with high performers and you'll be challenged to always outperform yourself.

 

Responsibility. This is a word that we use and listen a lot here at RB and we are evaluated by it. Working at RB means you will be given real responsibility from day one and will be in there with the 'big boys'.
It's fast it's furious and you are expected to aim high and outperform.

Patricia – Marketing

Marketing Trainee

Name: Patricia
Nationality: Brazilian
Where I work for RB: Brazil – Marketing

Career: I´ve started working at Reckitt Benckiser last year (in July 2008). I´ve entered the company through the junior manager trainee program, which included working in marketing and sales. I had already worked at marketing in other companies, as an intern and brand assistant, but I was looking for other challenges. During the first 6 months I’ve worked in marketing, leading Finish, Vanish and Woolite projects.  Finish is still a small brand in Brazil, so it was a fantastic experience thinking of strategies and partnerships to develop the ADW (Auto Dishwash) market here.

In the beginning of 2009 I’ve been part of Indirect Channel and Medium Retail team, and I was responsible for two important projects: Golden Stores, which are the most representative stores in distributors ( there are 1200 stores from 5 to 9 check outs all around the country), and Order to Deliver Process, working specially with Partial Devolutions.

I’ve chosen RB due to its competitive dynamics and rewarding environment. The possibility of living abroad made me set some objectives and I am working hard to achieve them. Here I don’t have a day-by-day routine, everyday I have to go through new challenges, and at the end, this makes the difference for me.
