Pros

P&G is extremely well respected among in-house organizations, particularly in the intellectual property sector. P&G is well organized, and provides outstanding training for new lawyers. The company typically recruits directly from law schools and allows new attorneys to handle high-level work very early in their careers. The profit sharing program provides a very comfortable retirement and Cincinnati has a low cost of living.

Cons

You can really only count on being promoted once (band 2 to band 3). P&G legal is a large organization with increasingly fewer slots at the top as the company has decided to become leaner at the leadership level. The situation is fine if you don't have aspirations to have organization responsibilities. But if you're ambitious and talented, you may be rolling the dice a bit because talent is buffered by timing and the needs of the organization with respect to promotions. Also, while the training of new attorneys is excellent, you may find that development of others is not specifically recognized and rewarded to the extent that you might expect. Some managers are known to cherry pick issues from their direct-reports so they can add certain experiences to their professional record. Enforcement issues, mergers/divestitures, and high profile freedom to practice strategies are notoriously snatched away from junior attorneys.

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
