      Pros

      You get a lot of experience very quickly. This was my first job out of school and within three years I was running over half the refinery at my location. The operators are very blue collar but they are some of the most loyal workers you will ever find, if you may it through the wringer they put you through when you start. The company is privately held so there is less focus on the immediate numbers.

      Cons

      The management is incredibly old school and the company runs their factories into the ground. The working atmosphere is very political and sometimes I felt like I was the only person who actually cared about making product (aside from my operators). You could never get away with that in a public company. Management typically avoids conflict so rather than lay people off they use passive aggressive tactics to try to get people to leave but it ends up just causing the good people to leave and then Cargill just moves the old trash around.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Fair work environment.

      Cons

      Not wanting to comply with EHS regulations and with EHS management knowledge of such. This has been going on for years. Just Google thier EHS compliance violations with State agencies and OSHA. Poor management styles. One cow following the next...
