Pluspunten
GMI gives you real responsibility from day 1. In the roles I have experienced I was expected to deliver results and perform, but I have also never been micromanaged. The aging boomer population, along with high expectations and challenging early roles lead to significant opportunities to advance.
Minpunten
To succeed at General Mills you have to be willing to put in the extra effort. Early career development programs, especially within supply chain, cram 5 to 7 years of leadership experience into 3 to 4 years. That can be difficult for a lot of people. The trade off is a strong resume 5 years out of school. Another potential downside for some at General Mills is the high preference placed on female and minority candidates. They are more likely to be hired and promoted and in some cases are not ready for the roles they move into.
