Pros

The best resasons to work for Procter & Gamble are the fantastic brands. Because Procter & gamble is so large there is a tremendous amount of leverage with the customer. Compensation is also relatively strong.

Cons

The largest downside of working at Procter & Gamble is the size of the company creating enormous amounts of bureaucracy and an inflexibility in order to react to market demands. Unrealistic goals combined with a unwaivering reliance on outdated metrics create a difficult work environment. Work & Life Balance are wholly ignored and workloads are unreasonable. The secretive nature of the company also creates a culture of fear and suspicion.

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
