Pros

There is Job stability, esp. in a tough economy (because consumers still need staple household goods). P&G provides a very thorough training program for all new hires and even more senior levels. The company also has a believe in continued information sharing through corporate networks to leverage cross-category learnings and drive scale.

Cons

While P&G is a great company, there is a lot of corporate bureacracy that drives slow decision making processes. There is a need to "rightsize" qualification plans to prevent late launch into market. Sometimes P&G is too focused on making all decisions based on consumer data and will not move forward unless all the t's are crossed. Additinoally, there appears to be unbalanced work/life balance between different functions & categories.

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
