Work Experience Review: 2.5 Years Wo

Qc laboratory technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some flexibility of schedule, co-workers were mostly easy to get along with. Part-time, 12-hour weekend overnight shift with some 4-5 hour day shifts during the week. Loved having the opportunity to do what I love and gain experience. Of course enjoyed the extra cash, too!

Cons

12-hour weekend overnight shifts didn't bother me. For some people, though, they may seem to drag on forever, at least during his/her adjustment to the shift. Not a position for a new grad, though. I had 5.5 years of chemistry lab experience prior to accepting the position..

Pros

As a Coop the company is not driven by Wall Street's short term interests. You're working for a company that produces something that is helping feed the world which is pretty cool. Becoming more innovate in the Winfield group and Purina is catching up. Our CIO is very innovative and is helping drive a lot of great change in the organization.

Cons

Our leadership has a fetish with old General Mills employees. If you have Big G on your resume, you're very likely to get hired even though we're not actually that much of a CPG company as most of our revenue and income comes from our Ag business units. A lot of people resistant to change.
