Pros

-Salary and Bonus -Great for those interested in living in an affordable city in the Midwest -Company small enough to have access to function VPs and senior management without many tiers. -Very established and influential black champions network. General Mills and HR provide many advancement opportunities to their members and fast track African Americans.

Cons

-For some people, Minnesota is not the place to be -First impressions matter too much, your career potential depends on side conversations or superficial opinions others have of you -General Mills is not extremely political, but networking is a MUST. Many times promotions will be based on who you know versus how do you perform

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
