Pros

They’re vacation benefit is good

Cons

First, the minimum expectation for time per week for salaried engineers is between 50-55 hours. In the plant. Not to mention you are on call 24/7/365 and will be on the phone for most of your life. If you’re a line leader, this is even worse. You do not get overtime pay because you’re salaried, and you don’t get to flex the days because they can’t afford to have you not be there. Management was terrible sans 1-2 people in our group, and two of their top performers (rated 1s) left because of the constant overworking conditions. They do not value safety. They will say Safety First, but if it comes between your safety and them not losing $10,000 because of the line being down, they will choose the line every single time. They don’t listen when the techs, engineers, etc tell them about safety concerns. They wait before acting. Additionally, even after I left they continued paying me for 3 months. To this day they still do not know how much I owe back and can’t get it fixed. This is the simplest thing they could do, yet they couldn’t even finish this. This is how little they care. They know they’re a multi billion dollar company, and they can get away with it. Listen to the reviews saying the overworking conditions are bad. The current employees are so indoctrinated into the P&G culture that they think this is normal. It is not.

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

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
