Pros

Great benefits, work-life balance, culture, potentially lots of opportunities for advancement. P&G has a long history of its willingness to help employees grow and advance.

Cons

This is a company where the classic expression applies - "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians". It is easy to get the impression with this company that the bottom line results do not matter so much as the report to make the bottom line results look good. The company also does not blink at spending a dollar to save a dime as long as it will make a report look good. Also - the stacked ranking system is utterly ridiculous - it was very encouraging to see both Microsoft and Dell to ditch this employee performance review system. I mean, if you're doing a great job, you shouldn't get segregated to the bottom of the stack just because there are not enough higher "slots" available to fit you in.

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
