Pros

Benefits and perks are good. They give out free product (consumer goods) to their employees relatively frequently. Training is also very good for personal growth and technical understanding. The style of work is also unique compared to other R&D-related careers.

Cons

Career advancement is slow being in such a large company. Career system is also unbalanced, favoring engineers over other sciences. Many people are also overworked and have difficulty balancing work and personal life. There are also a variety of management personalities, making it difficult for effective communication and coaching. There is a large variety of departments in the company and big emphasis in the brands and projects related to brands are usually more recognized.

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
