Good, but could be better

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.
