Pros

The people here are great; few politics and comprehensive training and development program. However, compensation here is terrible. After considering the number of hours we work, we are paid less than others who work at less prestigious companies.

Cons

P&G works you to your bone. Recent years of aggressive cost-cutting means redistributing of work to those who stayed. Everyone here is handling more work and most people worked till late at night; even those who appeared offline replied my emails when I sent them at 11pm. Terrible workplace. Corporate communication here does a great job in making sure media view P&G favourably (what do you expect, we are famous for marketing). Sometimes the truth is so distorted from reality that they become folklore internally. Most are here waiting to get poached to other companies. Think twice before coming!

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
