Pros

Pay is competitive and if your are willing to move and have a life centered around work then Cargill is the right place for you!

Cons

Lack of management and organization, along with salary employees moving to different locations every couple of years creates for an unstable and unhealthy work environment at the plant level. Plant level management is focused on advancing their careers and not the daily operation or people at their locations. There is no respect for the workers who are out in the field, creating disengaged workforces. I have experience with several locations with different Business Entities and had the very similar experiences.

Pros

Overall Cargill is a great place to work & the people I've met along the way are what has kept me there over the years. The culture is very safe, ethical & just all around mid-west nice. Cargill also has a great reputation & sometimes employees may take the name for granted, but it's true when you tell customers you work for Cargill & they know who you are & that you are a reliable supplier.

Cons

They are a very conservative company & it takes a lot time & effort to get things done. Their are a lot of layers to each business so it's hard to drive change quickly. They in the middle of a restructure now as well which is probably for the better in the long run, but can be disengaging in the meantime.

Pros

GREAT benefits, 401K fully vested after 3 years, "family" atmosphere throughout, employee stock option program

Cons

"Slow and steady wins the race" type company, not too innovative in some aspects, moves slowly when markets change
