Pros

Work with very smart people, company clearly shows interest to work directly with their employees, gain great experience

Cons

General Mills compensates and promotes employees who fit the "General Mills" mold. Decisions are made by a consensus driven approach so changes are slow to take place.

Pros

Work life balance and challenging work assignments. I have been able to ask for challenging assignments and given them. I feel very in control of managing my career. I have the flexibility to get my work done outside of "normal" work hours which has been very effective. Being results driven instead of focusing on time in the office has allowed me to excel in what I do as a professional and as a working parent.

Cons

It's in the middle of Golden Valley. I wish there were more choices near by for restaurants & shopping. YOu don't really have to leave the building with everything that is in there, however sometimes you get a little itchy and want a break.

Not entreprenial, slow to make a decision, slow advancement opportunities, and many people/functions need to approve something before it can be implemented at field level.
