RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at General Mills full-time
Pros
I'm fairly new to the company, within the first 6 mo. The company really cares for its employees. People who work at their main campus get perks such as Summer Fridays, on site daycare, on site salon, on site gym, on site credit union, on site gas station & auto shop. They are flexible about where you are physically located within the building, with many social areas available for working and networking.
Cons
insurance isn't the best, but in this day and age its about what to be expected.
Advice to Management
MGO has a lot of facility upgrades that can be done to improve morale.

Pros
Co-workers are great. Benefits outstanding.
Cons
Managers are mostly inept. All the good ones are leaving or have left. Confidence in Executives and future is low.
Advice to Management
Concentrate more on retaining those worker level people with experience than hiring cheaper new grads with none.

Last minute overtime. Sometimes you get told at the last minute you have to stay late. It's tough to schedule anything when that happens.
