Pros

P&G overall is not a bad work place

Cons

I can really write a long article or make a 20-min video to share my nightmare working experience at P&G Sacramento plant. The team lost several junior/senior project managers, same as my position, so I got too many projects from them in my first 6 months. I worked super hard to clean others' work, and I got some recognition during this time. However, then my leadership my line manager started to give me some unrealistic expectations, and he ruined my confidence. I started to feel that no matter how hard I try, my leadership wouldn't be satisfied. Starting to my second year here, a hard, complicated project from one of the previous project managers got some problems. These problems were still under control, but my line manager and leadership believed that all these problems were my fault, and they throwed me under the bus to make them look great to their managers. I eventally couldn't stand at all, so I chose to leave here. I also realized why the team lost so many people, because people don't want to work for terrible managers!

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
