SURVEY SAYS


Roll model

Most insiders speak fondly of their experiences at the poppin' fresh dough company. "Pay is competitive" because "the company is competing in a metro area with very low unemployment," says one. "I am very happy here," notes another. "If you are truly interested in Pillsbury, I would recommend contacting the HR department, watching the paper, and keeping your eyes on changes. It is a growing company with a lot of potential."

The big chill

In terms of culture, "there is a 'Minnesota Nice' flavor to the people - friendly, but not necessarily warm - especially according to folks who have moved to the Midwest from either coast." Minnesota, admittedly, "is not the most diverse place on earth" and "some people have a problem with the weather." Still, Pillsbury's "relaxed atmosphere" is enticing, as is the dress code. Dress at the company is "business casual," with "the occasional pair of jeans showing up." Another insider reveals that "there is a significant work-and-family effort" under way. "A number of folks work part-time, job share, home office, and flex hours."

Diversity 101

"Work hours are pretty typical for a large company," divulges another Pillsbury contact. There are "not many 80-hour weeks," but "there not many 40-hour weeks either." Although Pillsbury touts diversity as a priority, a few insiders report that the culture "can be challenging" for those who don't fit "a specific type." Nevertheless, "the senior staff, directors, and managers try very hard to incorporate diversity into the environment."

Most insiders agree that the status of women is "above average" for a large, multinational company. "Although the company doesn't currently have a board-level female, there are a number of women in key positions at the next level," says one insider. "I think part of [Pillsbury's] diversity is due to the fact that our primary customers are women." As far as other minorities, "there is the PRIDE Network for gay and lesbian employees, the Asian Exchange for Asian American employees, and a group for African American employees."
