Pros

-benefits -option to buy more PTO -hybrid work arrangement -opportunity to travel -good to have P&G on your resume

Cons

-pay is good if you live in a low cost of living city however it is low if you are located in a high cost of living city, they do not scale it. -half your team could be based in Europe, they will get more vacation time, better flexibility, and all around more work/life balance with no early mornings. -things were very disorganized and middle management prevents growth and adds to more swirl and rework for no reason other than feeling important. -Working parents get priority and flexibility, while single people are expected to dedicate their lives 24/7 to work to pick up the slack. - Little room for growth. -Company is very cautious and therefore getting beaten by competition all approvals (even tiny ones) are ultimately up to the highest level of management and then they wonder why the products do not appeal to young people.

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".
