Pros

Strong, privately held company that generally performs well. Use to treat employees well and had a long-term outlook on things. Generally great people that you'll work with on a daily basis. Good work-life balance. Lots of room for movement, even without moving locations

Cons

New CEO/management is changing the culture. Much more near-term focused and focused strongly on following what consultants say. Extremely consensus driven so everything takes a LONG time (and has to be approved by everyone in the food chain). Employees are not enabled to make decisions quickly. The gears of Cargill turn very slow and low performers are not moved out but rather succeed because of the internal network and move around (i.e. fail up)

Pros

Great coworkers and challenging work.

Cons

Many employees have recently taken on multiple roles without receiving pay raises. Middle managers lack the authority to make effective decisions, while upper leadership continues to implement misguided strategies without understanding the business intricacies. Several colleagues have been assigned significantly more responsibilities but have been informed that they will not receive appropriate compensation or reclassification for their work. Additionally, many have experienced a reduction in pay bands and are expected to accept it without complaint. In my professional experience, I have never witnessed such poor treatment as I have in the past year. Cargill is attempting to transform into a marketing powerhouse, a major departure from its origins as a supply chain company and the current talent it possesses. This transition will be challenging, even if successful, as there are no concrete plans in place at this time.

Pros

They allow virtual or hybrid jobs but that may change with new managent.

Cons

Dont follow a lot of rules due to them being private and the family gets most of the money. People will be laid off while the family gets if not equal or more money than they have.
