ProE has a pretty long learning curve. But if the company want to send you for training, I wouldn't pass it up. Mastercam is by far the most common Cam pkg out there. One reason for that is that it's used in so many different areas of manufacturing. Everything from 2x plasma cutters to 5 axis mills and lathes.
They have good solid capabilities for Job shops and nice toolpath options for mold and model shops. I would say the cost to own and learn is less than the others as well. There is a TON of educational material available for Mastercam.
