      Doesn't encourage diversity (in thought or personnel), and lags behind in promoting/accepting work-life balance.

      Pros

      Stable place to work - you'll NEVER get fired here. It seems as though they encourage people to chug along their careers in mediocrity without fear of reproach.

      Cons

      Creativity is often stifled. There is an extreme lack of diversity – in thought, or personnel. Work life balance exists in only a very few work functions – almost nonexistent in Sales. Compensation is far behind vs. peers – even with the “Total Rewards” comparisons. Often times there is a definite arrogance at GMI that make it dificult to create any real change or progress. It’s headquartered in Minneapolis.

      Pros

      Wide open career path. will let you take your career in any direction you desire. Engineers can go nito marketing, Operations, Quality Control, and vice versa. Education is supplemented well by company after employment. Non-degreed, but long term experienced personnel are treated fairly and encouraged to improve their position and earnings power.

      Cons

      Eager to share information, but administrative structure not set up to do so efficiently. When shifts in philosophy or new directions are planned for, word of mouth gets around quicker than formal acknowledgement of these types of changes. It is important at times to keep some of this communication confidential, but it seems to be difficult to ascertain what to share and what not to share.
