Pros of working at General Mills

I've had nothing but a positive experience working for General Mills. Employee self-care and balance have been widely encouraged during the pandemic. The pay and benefits far surpass my previous employers, the main campus in Golden Valley is amazing. They have a culture of development and rotating into other roles is encouraged. Very pleased.

Nothing!
