Pros

One of the top companies when it comes to reputation in marketing & FMCG industry, and compensation & benefit (salary increase is annual & very significant, good benefit package). Fresh grads from school are given significant opportunities to lead a business from the start & influence & make great things happen. Very steep learning curve, ample training opportunities. Marketing function is a great place to be when you're into marketing and are just straight out of school.

Cons

System is very complex & slow, needs strong people skills and connections to navigate through the system to get things done. Where I work, culture is almost nonexistent. Management many times cannot make up their minds, causing rework for lower levels. This happen probably partly due to the "promote from within" practice, when some people who stick around long enough will get promoted whether they really deserve it or not. Also, despite the many classroom trainings, the culture of personal management coaching is not strong.

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
