Pros

Great senior leaders that provide clear business priorities and strategies Strong diversity across all levels Strong for resume and highly coveted by companies looking for strong marketing talent General management training ground Fun culture Very competitive total compensation the longer you work there. It makes it difficult to leave because other companies can't match the total compensation structure.

Cons

The two biggest cons of working at General Mills are its slow career progress and the passive aggressive meeting culture. The slow career progression leads to the loss of some strong talent and frustration. The passive aggressive culture sometimes leads to difficulty in driving innovation.

Pros

Interns are treated extremely well. They are given projects which are value added for the company and meaningful to the intern. I felt my manager was fantastic.

Cons

Work life balance seems to be an issue with some coworkers. There is always plenty to do and never enough time to do it.

Pros

Starting out of school at GMI they allow you so many hands on opportunities. You are the expert on your projects. The people I work with are some of my best friends and and the best teammates you could ask for. It is great to work for a company you can be proud of.

Cons

With much responsibility comes stress. You have to make yourself take breaks and time to decompress. Working on so many prominate brands there are always things that "need" to be done.
