      Well-balanced employer but very slow career growth and little recognition of work

      Human resources generalist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Pension plan - Nice people - Good amount of vacation days - Many onsite perks at headquarters - Encouragement to take vacation (although work gets in the way of many taking all of their days off)

      Cons

      - Slow career growth (my peers at other companies are further along the ladder than I am) - Because people are very passive-aggressive about accelerating the career ladder, your work may not get recognized and/or your recognition may be taken by others - You must fit a certain mold; if you do not "act" the culture of General Mills, you won't go far

      Learn the CPG building blocks

      Associate marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Smart, highly competent teammates * Broad involvement with the entire business, not just consumer marketing * Opportunity to learn the basics and then some across a number of different categories with very different competitive situations

      Cons

      * Depends on the division, but some senior management teams are erratic in choosing the scenarios in which they want to have a more direct, day-to-day hand in your business, leading to a baffling slowdown and churn on key initiatives.

      Great place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Unbelievable benefits, good salary, lots of opportunity for talented people. It feels great to be working for a company which is doing well, especially during a recession.

      Cons

      Some company policies are too dependent on the whim of your manager, such as time off and flexible work arrangements. As a result, the company encouraged options are not applied consistently across the company.
