      Good Program, lower pay than industry

      Financial analyst rotational program
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great exposures to different types of Corp Finance and accounting. As well as other specialties like Risk, Tax, Decision Support, Ect. -Opportunity for long term career since they invest so much on you during your Rotation program. -Support from both your supervisor and the program coordinator -Career and technical development trainings given on a monthly basis -Get to interact with your cohort and build great future relations. -Will relocate you and pay for all moving expenses. Even pay for a trip to come and hunt for apartments before moving.

      Cons

      -Compensation is a bit lower than industry standards -Some rotations are not as competitive as others so sometimes you are stuck doing more grunt work -New program, only 4 years old, so alot of kinks still being worked out. -IDK if a con but main locations are either in Minneapolis or in Wichita. Except for one year which you spend it in one of the plants locations usually in midwest.

      Pros

      There are many good things about working at Cargill. The company is so large that there are opportunities everywhere. You are exposed to a wide range of people, cultures and ways of working. If you have a corporate job, you may also get to travel. It is also a great place to learn. People are generally very generous with their time and expertise. They are happy to have a coffee or a chat and help you along your journey. I learned a lot at Cargill, and it was valuable experience. And, very much worth noting, there are some incredibly people at Cargill who I will consider lifelong friends.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the company's size is also a con. Like many large matrixed organizations, it's hard to get things done sometimes. There is a lot of red tape and there's a lot of decision by committee. The company has difficulty moving quickly and making decisions quickly. And due to the fact that it's private, and there are so many people who have been there for 20-30 years, it can sometimes be very difficult to effect real change. In addition, be prepared to WORK. "Cargill runs lean" is a true motto - but the real truth is that people just work themselves to death and bleed green. The work experience is still very valuable. But if you are taking a corporate role, just know it's not really a 40-hour work week. I did not realize how out of whack my work-life balance had become until I left.

      A great, if slow moving, company to work for

      Pros

      Very healthy work culture with employees who are usually extremely competent in their roles. People stay here a very long time.

      Cons

      Unless you are in one of the financial or trading businesses, the compensation is below what you might expect. Being infected with CRT.
