General Mills – “Good company that features too much bureaucracy and not enough dedication to the new and different ways of doing things

Jul 13, 2009

4.0

General Mills Business Planning Associate:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Work/Life balance is a focus. The benefits are best in class. Pay is competitive. You get a chance to work with great people.

Cons

Lack of innovation in how processes are done. Promotions sometimes based solely on time in job and not on performance. A lot of the managers are micro-managers and do not give their direct reports enough autonomy.

Advice to Senior Management

Give your employees a chance to spread their wings. Don't micro-manage and let them try new and innovative things. These new methods could really impress customers if given a chance.
