Pros

A majority of my co-workers are smart, honest, and competent, and people are held accountable for their work plan. There are many opportunities for training and development, and team building is important. Health and wellness is important, so there are great programs available. The benefits are very good. Learn everything you can as companies like recruiting former P&Gers.

Cons

Culture - the arrogance is awful. P&Gers are known as "bulldozers", so some companies avoid them or spend a lot of time determining if he/she is a good cultural fit. Boastfulness is also highly rewarded. Credit isn't given to all levels, and my work is regularly presented as if it were someone else's. It is a highly competitive, and with all of the brands being sold and jobs being cut, the competitiveness is at every level - even our admins! This level of competition actually keeps employees from sharing ideas and information critical to our jobs. If someone is a bad employee, they are moved to different teams rather than dealt with accordingly. HR is there to protect the company, not to help employees. There is no more continuity on the brands now due to the job cuts, so I see a lot of mistakes being made. Voluntary separation packages have been offered 3 times in less than 3 years.

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
