Pros

-People are incredibly smart and capable -Money is good, especially for the location -If you as a person fit the culture (are a Type A person who is very loyal to the company) you’ll love it

Cons

COMPANY CULTURE: As someone who’s worked other places, this is the worst culture I’ve ever seen. It’s a loud, vocal, incredibly Type A place to the point of being toxic. Further, speaking plain English isn’t a thing - you’re literally playing corporate buzzword bingo every day and there are so many acronyms that the company published a dictionary/translation guide. Finally, there is this incredibly odd “company man” culture where everyone thinks that P&G is the greatest place in the world, that we’re the most prestigious company ever, and that your only hope of having a successful career is to be here (i.e. P&G is superior to Google and McKinsey, why would you ever leave?). The “drinking the kool-aid” is over the top and the inflated sense of the company that people have is not based in reality. -LOCATION. It’s Ohio, there’s no escaping that. 100% remote isn’t a thing here, and it’s made clear that to advance you must be in Ohio. This is why most of their college recruiting is at Midwest schools: it’s tough to convince people who know what’s out there to give it up and come to Cincy. -JOB DUTIES: my job’s day-to-day looked nothing like what the job title suggests, what was written in the job description, or what was described during the interview process. Be prepared for a possible bait-and-switch scenario.

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
