Pros

Very good people to work with especially the other technicians. Lots of variety in the job and new things to learn. Decent work life balance and good pay.

Cons

Poor training with very little structure. Very little diversity in the workplace. Poor support from HR. rotating shifts can be difficult for your body to adjust to each month. There was a lot of tension in some department with quite a bit of turnover due to firings. Very few in management over 40. Mostly take engineers and make them supervisors.

Good Company but struggles to implement improvements

Pros

Trying to standardize work processes, software platforms and supporting roles across business unit sites.

Cons

Insufficient strategy and follow through when implementing major work process changes. Several failed SAP implementation initiatives. Attempts to standardize BU tools forces some to step back 15+ years by losing their significantly more advanced work process and supporting software tools.

Pros

Excellent products, resources, R&D, employee development and salary and benefits are second to none. Cargill is well known in the markets they participate. Very good mission and vision statements that lead to meeting company objectives. Products are based on 'green' (agricultural) products which is a key selling point in industrial markets.

Cons

Leadership is some of the business units could be improved.. Be sure to ask questions about Leadership aspects during the interview process.
