Pros

Cargill has some very good people that are nice. You can expect to meet someone who has similar views to you at any plant. The company seems to be attempting to diverse itself, even though you can expect all Senior level management to be white males.

Cons

Managers will be hypercritical when you make a mistake and do not expect to be praised at all, ever, for anything. They treat injuries on the job as your fault, not the poor working environment that you work in. Very high disconnect from the people at the HQ to the people at the plant level. The majority of the managers I encountered judged you more on the time you spent at the plant than the time you spent working. Expect to work at 50 hours a week at a minimum even if you have nothing to work on with minimal benefit.

Pros

All the people were intelligent and most were excited about the work they were doing. People who came across as less excited about their workload and opportunities had been with the company and in the same position for a long time, and perhaps some degree of burnout had occurred.

Cons

The harvest season was extremely busy and required very long hours to keep up with the work. This meant coming in very early in the morning and staying later than a typical day as well. Time off during this time was somewhat nonexistant!! However, it was still a team of people working with you, so I never felt alone on a project.
