Pros

Fabulous employer to learn classic marketing skills! Brand management expertise bar none. Excellent experience in managing products & people. Summer work hours are a big bonus. Salaries and benefits are great.

Cons

Culture is lacking in diversity: multi-cultural acceptance only works here if you graduated from the same school, talk alike and think alike. GMI likes to have employees that are from varying ethnicities, but conformity to the norm is demanded. Individual performance ratings are skewed by division & work group targets/quotas-- so recognition is not as fair as it should be. Stay away from the foodservice division as I hear it functions with far fewer resources against it.

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.
