Pros

Job security (pretty much). If you do well and get hired, you have a job for the forseeable future. Also if the economy takes a tumble, you can count on your retirement program surviving very well. You can also look forward to that for decades to come; P&G execs have no need of pulling an Enron, MCI, Globodyne (Fun with Dick & Jane), imclone, etc. The top execs will not abscond with loads of money while leaving thousands of employees broke. There are many other perks too besides the great healthcare/daycare benefits. Usually you get gift packs delivered by Christmas, bonus store items, consumer panels (compensated opinion surveys), free product, etc. etc. There's also King's Island days/giveaways. P&G generally keeps you challenged.

Cons

There are politics and lots of them, so get used to it. Even as an intern, if you get the wrong boss, chances are you won't want to come back. If it's your first job experience of any kind after high school/college, do NOT think that all companies are like this.

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
