Pros

The company value to making food poeple love. I believe the brands truly work hard to deliver on that promise. I was always proud and energized by the work. BUT......

Cons

A lot of minorities feel stuck with no opportunities for advancement. Very little developement of individuals of color, especially in certain functions. There is no diversity in the management roles for my function, and those that would be qaulified are always passed for opportunities beacuse talent is sought outside GMI.

Pros

You can learn how the CPG industry functions

Cons

You learn how things are done at General Mills, which is not necessarily applicable outside the walls of General Mills.

Pros

The best people I have worked with, General Mills hires some of the best and brightest employees and most everyone is willing to do the extra to help each other.

Cons

Budgets are so tight they nickel dime every decision. Management is focused mostly on protecting their turf and jobs that the individual contributor gets stuck trying to make up for bad decisions.
