Pros

They used to mentor, pay for education at top business schools, you get the P&G pedigree, work hours are not long, contractors do most of the heavy lifting, you are mainly there to provide leadership, not do grunt work

Cons

After assistant brand manager, it is mainly up or out. Many postings are to remote corners of the world, which may require either years long parting from the family or your spouse to give up his or her career. Lately with the shedding of the brands, its like layoffs all the time, without the actual layoffs occurring at P&G, those are taken care of by those purchasing the brands.

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
