Pros

- Good pay for first 2 years - Good place to learn foundational business skills - Good place to start your career, but beyond 2 years is not worth it - the people (not management) are usually kind and helpful - flexible work arrangements like work from home

Cons

- I think management is self-absorbed, more worried about making themself look good and message tracking rather than growing the business - from what I've seen, it looks like people are leaving the company at high rates, losing good people in finance, brand and sales - I think PG has lost it's prestige and can no longer attract top talent - finance promotion timing and pay seems to lag peers in brand and sales - in my opinion, finance and some brand management have no clue what they are doing - opportunities in Canada are limited, typically have to go to the US to move up - stock is flat over 5 years, nearly no organic growth and in my opinion no signs of a turnaround - morale is what I think at an all-time low, it is not a fun and rewarding place to work anymore - bureaucracy overload. Very internally focused, little external considerations

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
