Pros

Overall, a good long-standing company that fits perfect for those who want a uninspiring 9-5 job. - Good benefits for a CPG. - Very kind co workers. - General flexibility with various remote positions

Cons

Prospective college students stay away. If you have big dreams, don’t start your career here. GMI is for long-haulers who want to coast their way to retirement. Take a risk and try another career path if CPG isn’t your dream. - Mundane and uninspiring work. - Skills obtained are niche, so don’t expect to ever leave the CPG industry with any valuable talents. - Pay is lack luster - While the people you work with are kind, you can tell most have settled with their future and don’t have drive to do something bigger, better. Acceptable for the general worker, but if you have big goals - skip this company.

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.
