Pros
Good pay and benefits because they know that's the only thing keeping you there.
Cons
I was hired as a “new manager” during COVID and really wanted to love it because it was my dream job out of college. Unfortunately, I realized quickly how awful this company was. They put SO much pressure on new managers to the point where they are overworked and basically working 3 jobs at once. The hours are terrible, too. You come in thinking you might have a 50-60 hour work week once in a while but they actually put pressure on you every week (even when you’re brand new) to work those hours (6am-4pm) because a lot of the leadership are hourly employees who get paid overtime when working 50-60 hour work weeks anyway. On top of that, they make you feel completely unappreciated and there is barely any real recognition. Giving your employees and umbrella or something because they are “2 years safe” is not the same as individually recognizing an individual for work really hard on a project or working late into the night trying to start up! Also, they make new managers feel completely disposable because they were constantly hiring new engineers out of college knowing others will quit so they didn’t care about you until 3 years in when they realized you weren’t going to quit. It’s an awful mentality and constantly hearing from operators and others that “oh I’m sure you probably found another job already” or “are you sure you REALLY want to stay here” 100% drives people to feel underappreciated and ultimately want to quit. I think pretty much everyone hated their job there which made people say things that they would never say in a good environment. They boast about how “competitive” they are but in reality, it’s just bad culture. Since they hire you from college, people have only known that terrible culture their whole career and don’t realize how bad it is. They should be bending over backwards to get people to stay since so many people have quit in the past few years and they are a plant in the middle of NOWHERE but sit there and think “well if one person quits it doesn’t matter because there are hundreds of other college students we can hire.” I also thought that since P&G was a “hire from within” company they would want their employees to pursue their interests in the company but instead they set you on one path for 4-5 years (or more if they don’t like you) even if it’s not what you want to do. I would never go back there, not even if they paid me 10x my salary and I am so glad I quit!
