Stay away from here. - Plant Technician Procter & Gamble Employee Review

If you are already an experienced individual who has spent years sharpening their skills in previous occupations, stay away from here. When I applied to work here, I at the time was an Engineer with 8 years experience and a myriad of hands on skills including electrical/mechanical troubleshooting experience. I was new to the area and had been looking for work for a while. Hearing the constant 'we're hiring' commercials, I applied to the Tabler Station plant location in Martinsburg WV. After a rigorous 3 hour interview, I was hired. Once onboarding was complete, I was basically tossed to the bottom rung Tech 1.1 entry-level position. Surprised? I was too.... What I am trying to say here is that I would have gotten the same position if I had done nothing since high school(zero effort). Considering Procter and Gamble is a multi-billion dollar company, this horrible misuse of human resources (new hires) is staggering. This issue was everywhere. They would hire college graduates with no experience whatsoever and place them in charge of an entire piece of equipment. Line techs like me would then have to show them how to do things like perform basic maintenance with basic hand tools..... I would have left after a couple months of this had the job market not been completely destroyed by the 2020 COVID outbreak. I tried speaking to those in management about being given a chance somewhere that I would be a better fit. I got nothing but lip service and my emails were ignored. Unable to leave because I needed the money but completely miserable, I began to sink into the worst depression of my entire life. The constant feeling of being poorly utilized and disrespected by management and the horrible swing shifts left me permanently depressed and exhausted. After falling asleep at the wheel and crashing coming home from a night shift, I had accepted that I would soon die one way or another if I didn't leave. Fortunately, I did manage to escape. I spent 18 months here before I finally was hired by a a company that actually reads the resume and values what you bring to the table. This was honestly 12 months too long, but nobody expected a global pandemic. TLDR: Horrible swing shifts, and you won't get placed properly at all. What's on your resume basically gets ignored.
