Pros

Good Compensation for executives Quality Brands Smart People to work with

Cons

Management is now delivering on commitments to shareholders or employees. The business is declining and instead of working to revitalize business they are cutting people, reducing quality and slashing budgets. This is not a company to join. During last round of layoffs, employees had 5-10 minute meetings where they were fired and told to leave the office the same day and not come back.

General Mills has always led decisions making with the employees best interest in mind, we are sorry that you do not feel that was the case in the recent restructure situation. Your feedback has been heard and will be shared with the appropriate leadership team members.
