Pros

P&G is truly committed to its purpose of improving lives of the world's consumers. This gives meaning to the work and a clear value by which to judge one's work. While P&G definitely has the best products in its categories, there is still ample opportunity to better understand how these products fit into consumer's lives and can make it better beyond the purely functional. Being as globally diversified and diversified across consumer goods categories as P&G is, it is a very solid and steady company that will always have opportunities to grow. Employees are seen and treated as the most valuable assets of the company and due to the common set of ethical values, it is very easy to work with any other P&Ger anywhere in the world. there is always the opportunity to create depth of knowledge in a certain category or to move between categories.

Cons

Being as big as P&G is and having been around for so long, P&G tends to be conservative in its decision-making and it often takes a long time until we catch on to new trends. It can be bureaucratic and it's not always the most qualified people who are the final decision-makers. Also, there is a tendency to spend a long time on alignment and hence decision making by committee.

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
