Pros

Super smart people to work with, great pay and benefits. I actually think the senior leaders are excellent.

Cons

Two 800+ person layoffs in the last 2.5 years leaves little to be optimistic about in the near term. Core of the companies issues are structural, American consumer has less money to spend on food, General Mills selling high priced processed food is no man's land; not fresh and not cheap

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
