Pros

Global organization, influential role in global agriculture/economy

Cons

Human Resources executive leadership is very disconnected from the HR team. They communicate very little and make not attempt to lead, guide and inspire the team. When they do communicate their actions contradict what they are saying to the team.

Pros

Pay is decent, they give you a lot of PTO all at once, quarterly bonuses,13 holidays off and paid

Cons

Unsafe work environments, upper management only care about their bonuses regular employees make for them, if you get hurt at work, Cargill will deny you ever told them as they don't like paying for all the people who they hurt from pushing them to the point of heat exhaustion and blown out backs, if you're not a profit for them they will force you out, very money hungry organization and so their employees are replaceable to Cargill and they will dump on you in the end

Pros

The people you work with on the individual level are typically great.

Cons

Pay is not competitive. More importantly it appears that true company values have changed and no longer serves their employees with their best in mind. Despite how the company operated 10-20 years ago, Cargill no longer upholds "Our Word is Our Bond". Make sure everything is explicitly clear in writing. The company will not back you up as an employee or care about your extended employee loyalty when it benefits their bottom line.
