Pros

- Pension plan - Nice people - Good amount of vacation days - Many onsite perks at headquarters - Encouragement to take vacation (although work gets in the way of many taking all of their days off)

Cons

- Slow career growth (my peers at other companies are further along the ladder than I am) - Because people are very passive-aggressive about accelerating the career ladder, your work may not get recognized and/or your recognition may be taken by others - You must fit a certain mold; if you do not "act" the culture of General Mills, you won't go far

Great place to work

Pros

Unbelievable benefits, good salary, lots of opportunity for talented people. It feels great to be working for a company which is doing well, especially during a recession.

Cons

Some company policies are too dependent on the whim of your manager, such as time off and flexible work arrangements. As a result, the company encouraged options are not applied consistently across the company.
