General Mills – “Stable but boring

Mar 12, 2009

4.0

General Mills Customer Account Manager II in Phoenix, AZ:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Large stable coroporation with good people. The total compensation is slightly above average, but is nothing to write home about. There are some opportunities to play the game and rise to the top fairly quickly.

Cons

Management is young and inexperienced. Most managers are still focused on his/her career as opposed to developing or enabling those whom he/she manages. This also causes a lot of "middle-management" syndrome where a manager feels important becuase of information he/she may have and is unwilling to share. Too many levels of management create prohibit change or innovation. Due to the large size of this company, there is always the battle of networking and politics that over-rides any merit based promotion structure.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more in-tune to the workforce. Sr management does well as explaining the tactics, but lacks in ability to show the big picture.
