      Pros

      Cargill offers a great benefit package. Great 401K matching, health/dental & vision plans are reasonably priced with good coverage and very affordable life insurance plans.

      Cons

      I was laid off (along with many others) after six years with the company. I worked at one of the smaller "sister" locations. During my six years at one location, we had a new Plant Manager four times and a new Business Unit Leader three times. I feel like managers are changed so often that it affects employee engagement as well as customer service.

      Pros

      none existent, complete waist of time, learned one think is to be aware for corporate greed

      Cons

      complete abuse of the workforce, mentally and career wise. toxic environment for work, no appreciation for their employee in term of compensation, reward, feedback .... very discriminatory company created a work environment of multiple small bands of ignorants running the show, Minneapolis headquarter is fine with that as long as the plant is making money.

      Pros

      I really enjoyed the majority of my co-workers during a 6 year stint as an engineer at Cargill. Lots of promotion opportunities and a real sense of camaraderie. Plenty of opportunity to do things outside of your comfort level and you are only limited by yourself.

      Cons

      Salary was below average. Workload was often very high. Not a very good work-life balance compared to other companies I have been with. It's a constant grind. Unfortunately you often have to compensate for the slack of other employees and management. Most people are very over-worked and disengaged.
