Pros

Culture is positive, open, and 8 years in, I've learned in any situation that I can assume positive intent and expect cooperation. Very little territoriality and every manager I've had has been interested in the well being of reports. Would recommend to LGBTQ+, post-military, people with disabilities, and other diverse candidates as a supportive employer. Benefits are good, including 401(k) match and small pension contributions.

Cons

"Cons" feel individual. When functions are outsourced to a third party or a different global region, people in one situation are displaced and opportunities become available elsewhere. This kind of sweeping change has increased at the company in recent years and can be expected to continue. The company has a history of long-service employees (20-25 years) but under the circumstances I'd expect the reputation of Cargill as a longitudinal employer is fading. Also, compensation is capped at the 75th percentile of your market value according to HR/Talent assessment because the company has a total compensation philosophy (benefits etc. comprise the delta).

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
