      Pros

      Down-to-earth culture where the person matters more than the position title, such a diverse business means there is something new to learn all the time and there are opportunities to shift job focus and do something quite different without having to change companies. The people are great and it's a very collaborative culture. There are always opportunities for development if you step up and ask to be involved.

      Cons

      It's a big company with a long history and many 20+ year employees. There are some positive aspects to this, but change is slow and sometimes there are too many people happy with the status quo and without enough non-Cargill experience to know how to improve or make things different. Overall behind in technology and creating/following processes.

      Pros

      Company Car and cell, decent benefits, exposure to a variety of situations, laid back corporate structure.

      Cons

      Toxic office politics, 0 work-life balance, on-call, 80-100 hour work weeks during harvest, salary is nothing without OT, pay is less than most considering the sacrifices made.

      A lot of "playing the game" in the corporate ranks

      Pros

      A lot of different businesses under one company means you have a lot to choose from Lengthy tenure of employees Promote within Employee purchase of salt is sometimes offered

      Cons

      Businesses do not communicate or work together so it is very difficult to move to another business A lot of back-stabbing, mostly directed to newer employees. Once you have a 3-5 years it starts to slow, but you still need to play the game for a few more years until your ideas or new ways of doing things are accepted. Multiple levels of leadership means unless you have it in with a VP or GM, you need to make sure your work is well known Promoting within has led to inbreeding of ideas and ways to do things Very low pay relative to other companies nationally
