Pros

Good people. Good Campus. That is it.

Cons

The organization has fallen into "tough" times mostly instituted by its own sequence of mindless actions. Continue to double down on "Hamburger Helper" and Meals and come out with frozen iterations of items no one buys. The Finance organization is stuck in the 70's where Merit does not get you promoted. Years of Service do. Top Experienced hires are treated as second class citizens as most leadership is inbred and only receptive to change on the surface. Millennial workforce will not wait a decade to get into Management when more pay and better opportunities are every where around. If you are highly motivated and sharp and want to move up within reasonable timelines RUN the other way. If you like working from home and enjoy minimal hours to get things done and nothing more and want to stay in one title/tier for a long time. Join GMI. Pay/Bonus is given not on individual performance but the performance of the company which is clearly not the summation of results. Or maybe it is. Weak talent = Weak Company performance.
