Lead (Current Employee), Wellston, OH –
Pros: great team of people
Cons: layoffs
I really like this job. The reson I'm looking for a different job is because would like to have a first shift job,because of my schooling and family. The only thing I don't like about the job I have now is because of all the layoffs we have.I need a job where I work every week.

OK
Packaging Operator (Former Employee), Belvidere, IL –
Pros: good pay
Cons: management
You will like this place if you will do whatever you are told. Other then that you are bullied by management and you have no voice. You are told that you do but that is not the case.

Best company I have ever worked for!
Executive Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Minneapolis, MN –
Pros: jean fridays, free health club, on-site clinic, salon, company store, d'amico's, caribou - the amenities are the best!!!
There is high energy, positive atmosphere and people genuinely seem happy to be at General Mills. I have been very impressed with their ability to be on the cutting edge of technology, opportunities that they bring in to the company (i.e. Bob Greene, Martha Stewart, David Cassidy, and many more).

fun workplace, fast-paced, and people friendly
light industrial worker (Former Employee), Fort Wayne, Indiana –
I enjoyed the brief assignment, it gave me skills that I can apply to benefit me as well as produce the ratio the company required. It gave me an opportunity to see that a person could be different from their looks. It strengthens your ability to work with others.

Nice place to work
Retail Merchandising Rep (Current Employee), Wausau, WI –
Pros: flexible
Cons: no option for advancement
Nice place to work, especially if you are a younger person. They offer a variety of jobs for young people, non married, and willing to move. I find it very difficult to move up due to the fact that i can not relocate. So basically i am stuck.
