      Cargill ain't what it used to be, and how can you rspect a CEO who goes by a ghetto nickname like "D-Mac

      Pros

      None,anymore. When I started 16 yrs. ago, Cargill was a great company, with pension, bonuses,and good wages. Gradually, they have taken all these away, and cynically, replaced them with posters about "VALUING PEOPLE". I Guess, if you were a really lazy person, a pro would be that as long as you said something wonderful about the company in the presence of management every day, you could stay there a long time without doing any actual work.

      Cons

      Becoming increasingly autocratic by the day, no common sense when it comes to safety, wastes millions on "flavor of the month" programs like Behavioral based safety and reliability excellence, "team coaches" that are of extremely questionable value. Too much corporate Koolaid to drink, only sycophants need apply for promotions.

      Pros

      The purpose of nourishing people (moving and supplying food from areas of surplus to areas of need) is very compelling. The Guiding Principles of the company are sound and they are lived in the culture every day.

      Cons

      Very internally focused, and in tough times relies of "saving your way to prosperity" instead of innovation and calculated risk taking.
