Great people, work/life balance, fun and exciting environment, career opportunities, fair compensation, outstanding benefits, great location, intellectually challenging, fast paced.

Cons

There really are very few downsides of working at General Mills. The average tenure is high so promotion timing is a little delayed but it's well worth it.

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
