Pros

people, people, people are the top three positives of General Mills (at WHQ, plants, sales offices and international locations)

Cons

advancement / retention decisions more based on internal network than value creation and delivery of results; diversity of work and leadership / management styles does not seem to be a consideration

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.
