Pros

Good pay and work-life balance

Cons

The company values mediocrity. Cargill is an acquisition company, it does not really produce goods or services. The senior leadership is low talent and not very impressive. People walk around boasting about their strategies "my strategy is...", but from the way that the company performs and operates it is clear that the strategies don't work. Cargill is privately held so there is a massive lack of transparency. The goal is to make money for the living Cargill family members and keep them happy. You can be lazy here and make good money. That is the norm and is encouraged. Smile a lot, be a yes person, look busy , oh and walk around talking about your strategies (whether you have any or not) and you will fit in just fine.

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!
