Pros

Very good salary & benefits, smart people, quite good work-life-balance, value integrity

Cons

P&G used to be amazing but because recently the company hasn't been growing and there has been a lot of downsizing, people are focused on saving themselves. So much politics going around, you basically have to make the leadership team like you to get promoted. Furthermore, P&G has been promising to be faster, more creative and do more risk-taking but it hasn't happened. It is still slow and the leadership is risk averse, they do not dare to try new stuff or approve it after months or years because it may reflect bad to their work plan results. They choose to play safe.

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
