Pros

- The Frontline is extremely cooperative and hardworking, definitely made my experience memorable

Cons

- Opportunities exist if you look like the rest of Management - The only "diversity" seems to be in the Frontline and supervisory positions

A lot of little companies pretending to be one.

Pros

Global opportunities - once you reach a certain level.

Cons

Lots of talk, with little walking the walk, unless an employee works in Minneapolis (The Capital District). Definitely preferential treatment for Kool-aid drinkers.

Pros

Salaries are typically higher than average. Great opportunity to get a wide range of experience.

Cons

Management is demanding and expects perfection. General attitude is "make it happen!" Expectation is to work 50 or more hours per week. There is no recognition for a job well-done, just a new assignment and more work. Cargill is letting people go at record numbers due to off-shoring and outsourcing and this is creating havoc with systems and processes. HR and Finance is off shored to India or Costa Rica so there is virtually no support for employees unless they can speak Spanish or Hindi.
