      Great Company in a Big Transition

      Pros

      Amazing people, both college recruits and experienced. Very progressive office environment, lots of amenities, open access to leadership (if in FUSE), and a great cafeteria. Opportunities to lead are everywhere as it moves from being a US company with businesses in other countries to a global company. Great values, demonstrated daily. I love being part of General Mills.

      Cons

      Transitions are messy, so if you expect a clear (career/org/process/promotion) path right now you won't be have one. Groups or functions that thought they were 'essential' to success are discovering they are, but for only 1 of the 4 global segments. After a few years here, you can forget how the world really works and feel a bit entitled.

      Pros

      Insurance and easy work. Great benefits

      Cons

      Good Ole boys in team leadership. Favoritism. Lots of nontruth and covering up. MC'S not having a backbone to fix situations. Hiring MC'S don't know anything -MC'S too young. People not being treated equal.cons get a way with everything. Too many people having affairs and MC'S giving them special treatment to sneak around. MC'S too scared to do the right thing. Everyone has to take the butt chewing for the slackers. Seniority does mean anything. Certain ones gets what they want, when the want it. Hard and loyal workers are treated unfairly.

      Pros

      Great learning environment for college grads. Educational opportunities within company - can learn a lot if you want. Smart people to work with. The gym at corporate is convenient Learn great base skillset

      Cons

      Upward career movement slow Hard to move to different departments once you have established yourself in one Company has been bloated with middle management for quite some time. That is finally changing now with recent layoffs. Individual rating system is flawed. Everyone gets very similar scores. Not much differentiation. Benefit package is average, nothing to get excited about.
