Pros

If you like structure, Procter and Gamble is a great place to be. Everyone is extremely helpful and interested in your improvement. , I was genuinely happy with everyone I encountered at Procter and Gamble, they all were kind, intelligent, and interested in helping me out. I was given constructive and useful feedback. My job was both challenging and meaningful, which is not always the case from an intern. I felt valued and needed in my job and have nothing but positive experiences to say about this company. Everyone really seemed to understand work life balance, and I appreciated that and learned from that as well.

Cons

I can't think of many. For people who really dislike the corporate culture, Procter & Gamble is probably not the right place for you. Although they embody and entrepreneurial spirit, in the end it still is a Fortune 500 company, and the 'corporate' feel is still there. Also, learning the lingo of Procter and Gamble is a job in itself. That can be intimidating for some. Finally, Cincinnati, Ohio is not the most exciting city in the world and some people may not enjoy the headquarters of Procter and Gamble. These are the downsides to working for the company from my perspective.

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
