Pros

Pay well, generally with good benefits

Cons

The promotion and review system that defines the corporate hierarchy is fundamentally corrupt and dishonest. People are promoted not for 'what they do for the company' but for what they do for the GROUP that promotes them. Anyone who can't figure this out at P&G is an idiot. Managers don't care either. The immoral system simply continues to perpetuate itself. People who have real principles will be happier elsewhere, even if they aren't paid as well.

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
