Pros

The people were mostly good to work with. There is a nice food basket given around Christmas.

Cons

The company is a dysfunctional mess. When the stock market soars General Mills crawls. They cannot innovate, and keep closing down plants, something like ten in the last decade. The culture of the company is killing it, addressing issues in plants and rewarding performance is a non existent feature of this company, just look at the industrial costs. Probably twice industry average for the same amount of product produced.
