Pros

The people I work with are amazing - intelligent, creative, determined- and in most cases, all working toward the same goal. The company is one of the best with regard to benefits, and has been named one of the best places to work for many years running. I use many of the benefits, including the onsite daycare, the medical staff, the fitness center, the physical therapist, the credit union, the auto service center - I could go on... I've never worked for someone at GMI who didn't feel had my best interests in mind at all times.

Cons

Location. If you don't like snow and cold, it's not a match. I'm not a native, and the cold is pretty bitter, but I've found that the summers in Minneapolis are worth the crappy winters.
