General Mills – “General Mills IS the Company of Champions!”
Pros
Job flexibility (hours, telecommuting), Manager support, business casual dress code, awesome campus with amenities found at no other company! Amenities include an onsite medical clinic, Caribou Coffee, D'Amico & Sons, Credit Union, Hair Salon, Employee Store with both General Mills products as well as cards and gifts, a fitness center, and a Concierge who can help you with just about anything. Climate surveys are done each year and are reviewed with a great deal of concern. I also like the bonus structure which is based on your job grade, personal performance and division performance.
Cons
Perception to working long hours. While it's not a 'requirement" it's difficult to discern when it's expected. The walk from the parking lot/ramp to your office can be long.
Advice to Senior Management
Decision speed continues to be an issue at General Mills. We have to be faster at making decisions; otherwise we'll continue to be too reactionary!
