Pros

The people are really outstanding, you can make lasting relationships with good, intelligent people. There is also a lot of autonomy in scheduling (although you end up having to work around other people and plant schedules a lot) but aside from that you can work the hours that you want to

Cons

Pretty much everything else was a con.... The culture is extremely reactive, very little preventative work done and when a problem takes place ITS EXTREMELY URGENT and you're expected to drop everything right then and there. Very poor work/life balance and non-existent boundaries, meaning that your cell phone will be your work phone and you can expect to be called at all hours and on your vacation. Lots of travel expected (to horrible locations in horrible states). All of that in exchange for working at what you expect to be a state of the art company with amazing benefits, neither of which are true. There's hardly any perks to working here; the technology, people, and systems are absolutely archaic. It felt like working in a 3rd world county or the 1960's a lot of the time. Lastly, there seems to be no middle ground in employee satisfaction, meaning that employees are either 1) completely miserable or 2) have a cult mindset where they believe P&G is better than anywhere else in the world despite never having worked elsewhere in their lives.

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
