Many career advancement opportunities if you can play the game

Long hours (50+), on call weeks/weekends, people are not treated the same, management does not listen, management does not care about engagement, management does not care about people/thinks people are just bodies at your disposal, below average pay.

Pros

Reasonable to excellent HR policies where it counts.

Cons

It depends on where you work Cargill is "diversified". But there are definitely in crowds that protect each other even in face of obvious poor performance and punish those who try to contribute "out of turn".
