Pros

They gave you the greatest autonomy you can imagine. It is daunting and tough at the start. Time will fly by, and you'll be struggling everyday on new work, new projects, new presentation, last min requests.. You'll have no choice but to succeed and skills will be developed before you know it - communication skills, expose to leadership team thought processes, leading a team, influencing project directions are just some of them. Frankly, I regretted leaving my comfort zone in a bank after being a top performer there. I struggled at P&G, but after I looked back at my 1 year progress. I can't believe I have grown so much as a person and skills. It is truly my dream company..

Cons

Many good people are leaving the company. They were my inspirations but am sad to see them leave due to leadership changes. Hope we can have more stability and go back to winning.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
