Pros

Cargill is a large privately owned world wide corporation and provides good benefits and opportunities for young, mobile, assertive, and talented individuals.

Cons

Cargill has changed drastically and I personally do not feel they are considering what is best for employees who have been loyal long term hard working employees. Many long term valuable employees are either leaving, retiring early, or are losing their jobs. Cargill corporate is Centralizing (OUTSOURCING) many office/ service jobs to other countries. The jobs that remain are being basically downgraded but, at the same time, becoming more difficult to get or to keep. The amount of work remaining here is overwhelming and too time consuming, mostly because of the extra work and time dealing with the centralized service centers in other countries, who do not have either the skills, knowledge, follow through, and mostly LACK the LANGUAGE skills needed!! They also have higher turnover, so you have training and restraining issues.. In my opinion, it is all about money, money, money, (greed) and does not take into account the advantages American employees offer in terms of knowledge, skills, background, and mostly much better customer service for both inside and outside customers!

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
