Pros

Great place to start your career and a fantastic business to have on your CV. Get experience of big customers and the world of FMCG. Work with exceptionally talented and intelligent people which creates a culture of ambition and hard work.

Cons

Last 2/3 years have seen significant head count reductions leaving only the people that are willing to devote their entire lives to the business left. A culture of work life balance has been replaced with everyone working ridiculous hours to try to stay afloat. Business at P&G is hugely complex thanks to the dreadful link to the Geneva head office - marketing and sales seem to be completely separate teams and the supply function has been farmed out to Eastern Europe. Morale seems low and training, feedback and support have been removed. No time for any fun!

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
