Pros

Overall great training ground for business, marketing, and consumer insights Strong Marketing and Consumer Insights capabilities Many opportunities for development/training Opportunity to work with very smart, friendly people

Cons

Very poor work/life balance, even though the company will emphasize otherwise (i.e. in addition to excelling in your job, you will be expected to be involved with various committees and extracurricular activities to move up/be considered for promotion) Insular culture Eternal optimism can be a blinder to reality Location, Location, Location: Minnesota
