Pros

General Mills has great people, great brands and a culture of integrity. They devote time and money to develpoing the leadership skills of their people, which makes it a great place to start a career. The company and the Minneapolis location allow for a very positive work/life balance.

Cons

The winters in Minneapolis are long, and the summers seem short. It is fun to work with great poeple, but you are competing with those great people for opportunities to move up.
