Pros

A very diverse company with many advancement opportunities. It's privately held can cash rich. Good culture if you work for the right business unit. Cargill has over 60 different business units.

Cons

Lack of accountability and a sense that business unit management was detached from reality. Too many silos and politics led to a toxic culture where you were reprimanded for challenging the Status Quo. Company as a whole too a knee jerk reaction to recent financial struggles in cutting in areas that added significant value.

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!
