Pros

The hours were pretty reasonable...although you are basically on call 24/7 365, the demands outside of the office are reasonable.

Cons

Where do we begin? The management is the worst I have seen in any organization. Although Cargill as a whole maintains a good brand image, the business unit I was in was full of uneducated and absent management. It was clear that you climb the ranks because of someone you know and not because of skills or potential. Management was basically just there to collect their enormous salaries with minimal effort. The salary left a lot to be desired...and the benefits are terrible, high deductible plans with high out of pocket maximums. If you desire to better yourself through further education get ready to play 20 questions...instead of getting support with your goals, they become paranoid that your end goal is to leave them. Overall, a top heavy, stagnant workplace with virtually no room for advancement filled with inept management. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere before considering working here.

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!
