Pros

Many good employees, willing to offer training, low-cost benefits a plus and the CEO, Board of Directors and family members are very active in keeping the company on the right track.

Cons

Not all BU's understand diversity in the workplace. Business Unit's do not encourage career changes outside of their own BU. Many of the core BU's that Cargill was built on still have the "Good Ole Boy Club" mentality and feel to them. Doesn't not pay employees what they are worth until the employee has offers from other companies. Doesn't always walk the talk it preaches to employees.

Pros

Great benefits, time off, people were nice.

Cons

Very busy workplace - worked a lot of overtime. (Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate). Not a lot of procedures in place, so felt like a startup.
