Pros

Flexible work options. Decent vacation time, based on years of services (2 weeks from hire, and adds a week every 5 years after that with a cap at 6 weeks. Ability to purchase an extra week each year during open enrollment). Company store at HQ to purchase discounted product. Corporate dress code includes jeans every day, even at HQ.

Cons

I've been with Kellogg for over a decade and have seen the Company for from the "it" place to work in Battle Creek to the laughing stock of the City. Absolutely terrible, toxic, work environment. Upper leadership is completely disconnected from their employees. Absolutely no focus on building their teams or maintaining a good morale. (My director has had exactly zero team meetings in his 1.5 years at Kellogg.) We've had so much movement on our team in the last 2 years that I don't even know who works on my team anymore. Everyone is fearful for their jobs with the amount of headcount cuts and outsourcing that's been done over the last 2 years, and looks to continue. The workload isn't changing, it's just being directed to fewer employees. I think the biggest slap in the face for employees was the elimination of an entire department here in Battle Creek, and then they were told that half the number of jobs would be opening in Grand Rapids, but they were welcome to apply. That's the nice way of saying these people were fired and had to reapply for their own jobs, with less pay/benefits.
