Pros

Salary is good (just not great), flexible work arrangements, internationally recognizable

Cons

The biggest issue in P&G is the career advancements, because of the following: - Ideally, your recognition comes from the PIE model (Performance, Image, & Exposure), however, in reality, people get promoted solely based on their image, resulting in lots of people advancing into leadership roles with no results to speak off, their only strength is being great presenters. This is now reflecting in the company's results, we are simply not winning as we should be. Another issue, is retaliation, the company has a very strict policy against retaliation, however, it is not enforced, because of 2 reasons: - it is almost impossible to prove it, since everything is subjective - HR in most cases i have seen, were not professional, if there is a case against someone who is a personal friend, it goes under the radar and no action is taken Also, Senior management are disconnected from the actual work being done on the ground, and there seems to be a lack of communication on their level, as more often than not, we get conflicting directions from our senior management

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
