Pros

Very prestigious comapany, treated like royality when interacting with companies outside of Proctor and Gamble. Proctor and Gamble is very supportive of continuing education. Facilities are state of the art..

Cons

As a Gillette "carry over" life at Proctor and Gamble (P&G) was shear misery. "Gilletters" are second class citizens in the world of P&G. You are constantly reminded that P&G is superior to anything Gillette, including it's personnel. There are two sets of compensation and benefits; one for the "true P&G" employees and the other for the "Gillette carry overs". The lesson to be learned here is; if your company is being bought or persued for purchase by P&G, BEWARE. Despite what P&G may promise the employees of the tendered company, the reality will be misery.

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
