Solid Company, but Slow-Paced

Pros

- Global network of connections, markets, job opportunities, and expertise - Overall high level of intelligence among coworkers - Decent ability to be educated and move up within the organization (internal promotion is the norm)

Cons

- Things are slow to change; if you want to move up quickly, it is hard to do here. - Most of the leaders are older (upper 40s +), and often aren't open to new ideas (although this isn't always the case)

Pros

I worked at Cargill for 5 years. Good pay. 401 K. Decent benefits. Good hrs

Cons

I was on the list to be a lead but as you go by the book sometimes its not enough and is given to the one with safety violations and no experience on the department. Moving up is based on kissing butt and favoritism. They wont hesitate on moving you to a harder position and keeping you there with the same grade pay. H.R worries more about protecting the company hen helping the employees when at times the company is at fault. Need work on the leads and supervisors for they like to talk down to the employees and treat them like its a sweat shop while they fall behind knowing that as a lead and part of food safety that the can and jump on the production line to help to catch up and to prevent a accident while working with knifes. l
