Pros

Lots of great people Very professional Stable

Cons

It's a very profit worshiping, big, bluechip company, which you'd expect, but there's a strange culture of pretentiousness. It's a soap company, but tlook at the slogan: "Touching lives, improving life". And LOTS of employees use the workplace as a place to push far left political ideology. It's litterally built into mandatory trainings that you must "pass" which if you're of a different opinion requires you to lie. You feel like a cog in the machine. You can end up working exclusively on things outside of your field of expertees and like you have no control over the sort of work you end up doing. The people you see do well are all "diverse" but in reality, they're all type A folk who know how to play the game, where some tallented, hard working scientists and engineers end up doing less well because they lack those P&G "leadership qualities".

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
