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

P&G offers competitive salaries and profit sharing for a midwestern-based company. The work-life balance is excellent for anyone raising a family. Flexible work arrangements when possible allow employees to remain active in their personal lives while still delivering on work objectives.

Cons

There's very little accountability. Project managers, supply owners, and anyone with authority to make crucial business decisions are rarely penalized in any way for their incompetence. Status quo is the name of the game and anyone proposing a dissenting viewpoint will be quickly minimized or scolded for having the temerity to challenge the group think. To some this may seem as a positive in that it implies a sort of job security since mistakes will not be dealt with. For those with ambition to pursue a higher standard of scientific excellence will find themselves demoralized by the rigid nature of the old guard.

Pros

Vacation time (even though you blow through it while working a 2-2-3 rapid rotation)

Cons

Where do we start? Managers think they know everything and they don't, lets speed up the lines for more throughput of product but lets not fix the issues with the lines themselves, lets cut staffing on the lines while we speed it up and have issues. Lets move someone with an engineering background into a supply chain leader role who knows absolutely nothing about the position. Then takes advice from a line leader (a line leader that is only in that position because they threw everyone under the bus to get themselves there and takes credit for everyone else's ideas. "cost savings" is a joke,(because our multi-billion dollar brands and not to mention Procter and Gamble as a company makes how many billions a year?) technicians can't do this or get that because it costs too much and we're trying to save millions while managers go on thousand dollar excursions across the pound to Europe for "benchmarking" . Retirement is now down to 9% while they are making billions and management is getting millions of dollars in bonus'. Do they want there workers working till they die? Pay and progression system, where do we start with that, it'll take you 15 years minimum to get fully paid? or how you know longer have incentive to learn quickly? You're stuck at a pay level for 2.5 years that you should honestly get to before your year probation is even up. And you wonder why people are leaving and going to other companies.
