Pros

Procter & Gamble is a very diverse company which provides a vast array of opportuniites for young workers to mold their careers. We have a very thorough training process and fairly structured evaluation process. Management tends to rely heavily on the independence of new employees, and place them in positions of significant responsibility early in their carrers. P&G also draws very talented people, which provides a work environment which is stimulating and enjoyable. Work-life balance is valued by senior managment, which makes them flexible when it comes to taking care of personal matters. Rather than focusing on face-time, P&G values your overall work product when it comes to evaluating performance.

Cons

P&G is located in Cincinnati, OH, which may be generally considered less than desirable. As a derivative of its location, there is a fair amount of close-mindedness in addressing world issues and contrary political views. Also, since P&G hires very talented people, there is some dissatisfaction with the promotion process, as we are all ambitious people, vying for a limited number of slots in upper managment.

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
