Pros

Procter is a great place to work if you have a love of marketing and brand management. It is first and foremost a marketing company, and this ethic permeates all functional areas, including even Global Business Services (IT, HR, etc). In general, Procter encourages employee initiative and strategic vision. Most employees tend to work 2 or 3 year assignments, then move on to other areas. This is great from the point of view of learning the business and acquiring new skills. Most Procter employees are hired from school, and unless you are part of an acquisition, the company might be hard to break into.

Cons

The internal "network" at Procter can be hard to break into if you are coming in from the outside. However, if you are an assertive and confident networker this should not be a problem. There is a strong emphasis personal "branding", that sometimes can seem more valued than tangible results. The rapid turnover of "assignments" can result in employees having a lot of breadth but not much technical or business depth in any one area.

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
