Pros

- Pension plan - Nice people - Good amount of vacation days - Many onsite perks at headquarters - Encouragement to take vacation (although work gets in the way of many taking all of their days off)

Cons

- Slow career growth (my peers at other companies are further along the ladder than I am) - Because people are very passive-aggressive about accelerating the career ladder, your work may not get recognized and/or your recognition may be taken by others - You must fit a certain mold; if you do not "act" the culture of General Mills, you won't go far
