Pros

You will have a job. There are some nice people to work with that you will meet at PG. You can have a long and safe career with PG if you are willing to sacrifice everything but your job. Ability ot travel world wide if you like to.

Cons

Company culture is extreme and there is no room for creativity. You will not be promoted unless you are a "yes" man. You must adhere to the "standards" at all costs even if you can find a better way to do something. No respect for technology or peoples abilities to grow and learn. IF you work for PG too long you will have no skills to work for another company. A company of managers and delegators and no one doing anything but paperwork.

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
