I love working at Mills because I get to work with the best people on the best brands, while still having the flexibility for a great life outside of the office.

I love the opportunity

to rotate jobs often,

which has allowed me

to leave my fingerprint

on several of our great

brands and to

continually solve new

business challenges.

Shelly Latimore, Associate Marketing Manager,

Big G division, Minneapolis

I’ve been given the tools I need to succeed (access to internal and external

resources, time for coursework and

training, opportunities to benchmark

throughout the supply chain), along with

support from colleagues and managers to grow professionally into a

more effective contributor.

We succeed not only as a company that generates great

results for our shareholders, but also because we are

great citizens of the communities we operate and do

business in. We are a company that not only succeeds in

the marketplace, but does so with great values. That

inspires me.

I am proud to be part

of a company that

strives to live out its

mission of

Nourishing Lives

every day. General

Mills works to serve

the needs of all of our

stakeholders in the

communities where

we live and work -

from supporting local

food banks to

answering the call

for disaster relief

support around the

world.Mary Jane Melendez,

As an employee, General Mills offers me a wide range of personal and financial benefits that I don’t see in most other companies. A balanced system of flexible scheduling, reward, recognition and merit incentives are the compensation elements that drive me to accomplish my personal, team and company goals. Many days it’s the simple thank you and appreciation for a job well done that motivates me the most – I want to come to work and do my best each day – that’s what makes General Mills a great place to work for me.

Jim Boyd, Virtual Store Technician, Mason, Ohio

The thing I love about General Mills is the nurturing environment which establishes a unique combination of prioritizing both the development of its people and the development of its business. This culture provides a great opportunity for you to focus on the development of yourself

and those around you in a very open and comfortable way.

Joe Moidl, R&D Director, Cereal Partners Worldwide division,

Minneapolis

I’ve always thought that General Mills is a great place to work because I’m able to learn, grow, develop and contribute AND have my life. General Mills has been with me through grad school, having a baby, adopting a baby, and now going through a divorce and being a single mom. I would have never made it through all these life transitions had it not been for the culture of General Mills that has supported me and allowed me to keep growing through it all. Of course I identify closely with what the company stands for, yet I think my kids are direct beneficiaries of the company’s culture, philosophy and policies – and because of General Mills, their lives are better. When Mama’s happy, everyone’s happy.

Karen Seal, Health Communications Manager, Minneapolis

Throughout my career my managers have

taken an active role in my development. I’ve

always felt that my development was as

important to my managers as it is to me. I’ve been afforded the

opportunity to broaden my experience through

increasingly challenging roles and

responsibilities.

Scott Marcoux, Senior Consumer Insights Manager,

Minneapolis

At General Mills, I am consistently challenged and

enjoy the pressure that comes from being surrounded by

intelligent & committed people who push me to think differently and

become a smarter business person. The people at General Mills are not only

intelligent, but also a lot of fun, so I have made many friends who I spend time with outside of work as well − an added bonus!

Lauren Peterson, Customer Manager

Rogers, Ark.

An important factor in my

decision to join General

Mills was their

commitment to giving

back to the broader

community. Ten years

later I continue to be

impressed with how

much that is ingrained in

the culture of the

company and our

employees – 82% of our

employees volunteer

outside their work and

18% serve on non-profit

boards. It is great to

work for a company that

not only focuses on

business but also on

employee development

and giving back to the

communities which help

all of us be successful. Tim Huebsch,

Integration Manager, Minneapolis
