Pros

Senior management are the same people regardless of audience. That is they do not interface with the hourly employees any differently than they work with each other. Time of change and great opportunities for those who can navigate their way through.

Cons

Cargill is making the transition to business practices already in place in other industries. A substantial amount of change going on = stressful times. Upper management still has the mindset that "I did it so you should too". The right intentions to improve are there but in times of stress they revert back

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!
