Pros

GMI has some wonderful perks, 37.5 hour work week, 1/2 day Fridays in summers, great on site services, and very generous with free give away product, sometimes 2-3 times per week.

Cons

I landed at GMI after the large layoff at Target, as well a few others. We spoke with each other about the culture of GMI, compared to Target, and we all noted that there is little to no sense of team in the areas we work in. Nor was there any designated on-boarding training offered to ensure success. It's very much a sink or swim mentality, where everyone is looking out for themselves. This was a huge disappointment.
