General Mills Employer Reviews

I enjoyed my job duties. I learned to be open to new ideas. Management always emphasized on safety. My co workers where very special. My job wasn't hard at all. I enjoyed producing a food for consumers and knowing at the end of the day it was enjoyable.

Standing for an 8 hour shift watching Pillsbury products. Cleaning and sanitation nights once a week.

I had a supervisor break a piece off one of my machines and then write me up and supend me for three days. When I made a harassment claim through the union the company agreed to pay me for the three days I was suspended... And take thR suspension off my record.

A typical day at work would include alot of weighing and dumping.
I learned alot about food with allergens.
Mangement were part of our team to help produce great products.
Team work enviroment. Very helpful.
Hardest part of job was alot of heavy lifting.
Most enjoyable i'd say was punch out time.

Planning and scheduling of manhour versus sales target. Hands on training to motivate al the staff. Give specific targets to assistant manager to focus the organic growth and SP. Maintain high standard of customer service to provide good score in mystery shopper result. Will get incentives if we hit the target.

worked for cereal manufacturing plant and was able to recieve great training in a multitude of manufacturing areas such as computer tech., electrical, and machine operation and maintanence.

A typical day consist of cleaning and the general running of the production lines. I learned alot about the cleaning methods used in production factory's. The management at the time was still changing around alot. Co-workers out there really just depended on the type of person. The hardest part of the the job was when the palletizer would go down and – more... you would have to be doing all the stacking on pallets. – less

In the 2.8 years that I worked at Yoplait, I learned almost 40 jobs. I greatly enjoyed being able to learn so much in such a short amount of time. At the time, I thought it was a good way to get job security. A typical day for me was getting to work, getting the janitor keys and the janitor cart, and getting any supplies that I may need on my cart, – more... if I didn't stock it the night before. I would start with cleaning the women's locker room/bathroom. This would include the toilets, taking out trash, cleaning the sinks and mirrors, restocking paper products, sweeping and mopping the floors. Next I would clean the men's downstairs locker room/bathroom, doing exactly what I did in the women's room. Following that, I would ususally head to the second floor and clean the men's room on that floor. Next I would unlock, one by one, the office doors on that floor and take out the trash (every night), and vacuum the floors twice a week. Next I would sweep and mop the upstairs hallway. After I finished that, I would go back downstairs, put my cart away, and sweep and mop, vacuum the rugs, and take out the four trash bags located in the hallway. I also had to restock the hairnets, beard nets, and earplugs located in the hallway. Next I would go onto the main floor and check the paper towel holders and soap dispensers located throughout the plant and replace what was needed. Then I would clean the single bathroom located in milk receiving and the single bathroom located above Go-Gurt, and take out the office trash for this location as well. Finally I would restock my janitor cart, maybe clean the hallway windows if I had time, or sweep the stairway leading to the cafeteria, or clean the elevator. At the end of the night, I would return my keys to the scheduler, and do it all over again the next night. This is the last position that I held at Yoplait, and probably my favorite as well. – less

this was my first job ever so i was really nervous to start this job, as soon as the crew leader gave me directions and teached me how to do the job i got it really quick. what i learned about this job was that i had to be super fast and move around and find something to do when i was done working, i learned how to be responsible with objects. the management – more... was strict also they wanted me and other co workers to keep working till we were done with the order given. the hardest thing about the job was that every time we were done with some orders we had to start doing something new and learn how to work with it, the new orders. the most enjoyable part of the job was when i taped some of the boxes or add stickers to the orders it kept me moving faster. – less

The Company is very good to work with. There are many new things to learn and all but the overall development is quite slow looking at long term.

meet alot of friendly people, leaned alot of skills like how to use an electric pallet jack, booking orders and alos cancelling orders. Got along with all the people i worked with, the most hardest part of a job was having to finish 200 - 250 oders before the pick-up trucks get to the dock. My most enjoyable part of my job was learning how to book orders – more... and picking riding an electric pallet jack last but not least making new friends with my co-workers. – less
