Vantaggi

Great training ground, well respected in industry, good general business exposure, good training, solid pay & benefits (including sizeable & predicatable payrises), "steady" employment, decent / ethical treatment towards employees

Svantaggi

in the words of a respected ad agency CEO who once worked at P&G "they hire the very best people and then systematically make them very average". Despite all the pluses above, this huge, immobile and slow-moving titan with its processes and rigidity will kill your entrepreneurial spirit. Managers who have worked there for 20 years know more about internal processes than about actual business, because it's been so long since they've been in the real world. A great training ground and looks great on the CV, but get out while you still have that fire / hunger and run some real businesses, or you will be stuck in an ivory tower pushing a pencil, with a steady, solid job and predictable promotions for the rest of your life (great for some, but not for me)

Svantaggi

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
