Pros

Huge company that will allow you to explore many rolls while never leaving the "Mother Ship". Decent career stepping stone. Get your Masters immediately, pay your dues, and then decide what's in your best interest. You take care of you, because P&G will take care of themselves. Still a very valuable learning experience. Diversity is solid, easily leveraged to your benefit if you are capable. Capable of pulling out of current doldrums if given time, emphasis on "if given time".

Cons

Not the company my father worked for, and retired from. Company values have shifted from employee to share holder. Compensation and benefits have slid from exceptional to just okay, and that is fine with senior leadership, Want to hire the best but not willing to pay for the best over time. Local leadership focused on surviving current round of staffing cuts, not very conducive to moving the company forward. Corporate politics runs extremely deep and can be ugly at times.

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

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
