General Mills Reviews

Cons

Hard to take vacations when customers will call or email you with an emergency that cannot wait till you get back. Not really a con. It’s part of the job description.

Cons

In the middle of a significant transformation so you have to love to work in a world of continuous improvement and change

Cons

No promotions because of flat structure
Very high turnover

Cons

Long 12 hours
A lot of arguing between co workers

Cons

The company doesn't used to hire experienced people, even they hired them, they don't know how to manage and utilize their skills.
Overall workforce are not consider in top rank in their specific professional filed in the industry (except R&D), this company value more royalty and tenure than talent & skills, most people are promoted by tenure.
As a company with long history, it is surprising how un-organized and lack of process in their work.
Mid level management are not very skilled in their line of profession, partly due to the way of promotion.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations and inconsistent leadership year over year

Cons

The winters were too cold for my preference

Cons

Low salaries, lack of innovation

Cons

Low Pay
Slow to adapt to changes in the market

Cons

A lot of minorities feel stuck with no opportunities for advancement. Very little developement of individuals of color, especially in certain functions. There is no diversity in the management roles for my function, and those that would be qaulified are always passed for opportunities beacuse talent is sought outside GMI.
