Pros

Great company with strong moral fiber and leaders with good intentions/cares about employees...Management strongly supports employee development and flex work hours

Cons

weak on strategic vision and inability to prioritize causes poor work life balance...promotion track in marketing slow...and the "minnesotan nice" culture sometimes makes process/execution slow...while it makes the top ranking on diversity, the company (mainly through the marketing organization) is still run by very white male midwestern type guys...thus diversity of thinking and leaderships style is not appreciated as much, not because they don't want to, but because they don't have exposure to diverse thinking and don't understand how to leverage it
