Pros
- Good Pay
- Pick up and home drops only for certain shiftsCons
- Too much politics, favoritism given to tenured employees, bias leadership

- No new learning or value add to your profile / career
- Too much focus on cost cutting leading to taking lot many benefits away from employees
- You can get laid off any time - no job security
- Worst cafeteria - you get fixed food only for a certain duration. free snacks not fit for consumptionAdvice to Management

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at General Mills full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Pick and drop facility. College environment. No work Pressure, since they have too many people (in SC)
Cons
Only low level transactional work in SC. (only good for 2 yrs)
Market value of general mills experience is very low. They treat you as a BPO employee.
Bad HR practice. there is no linkage between performance and appraisals. Its already pre determined based on favoritism.
Not a growing company - sales is down year on year.
Non deserving people in leadership levels. cant be compared to leadership in main stream indian companies.Advice to Management
shake up your leadership layer and redefine expectation. focus on business.
