Pros

Pretty stable company during tough economic times.

Cons

R&D folks are not treated as well as the Marketing, CMK, Finance and other commerial functions. In R&D it takes a long time to get promoted from Band 2 to Band 3 and from Band 3 to Band 4 - this is even more true if one prefers staying in technical career path. The P&G management and Human Resources have intentionally kept the process this way citing many excuses. On the other hand folks in many commercial functions get promotions faster and easier.

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
