Pros

Job had decent pay, hiring process and interview went smoothly. Some coworkers legitimately cared about getting work done and helping others out when they needed it.

Cons

Lots of two-faced people that have zero problem throwing someone under the bus in order to advance their own career. When you work hard, you're "rewarded" with more work while the slackers get by doing the bare minimum and browsing the web or listening to music. Several former coworkers routinely took 2+ hour lunch breaks, came in late and left early, or would disappear without a trace. Management didn't do anything about it even when they witnessed it first-hand. Saw several employees in various departments get burned out and quit without notice, and the company had no other people trained to take over the vacant positions. Witnessed employees threatened with written warnings or termination when they expressed displeasure at others on their team and other teams not pulling their weight.

Pros

Where available you get to learn cash commodity trading. However, this is not taught, you have to figure out much of it yourself. Good for go getters. Salary is decent but you're stuck in Omaha!

Cons

Its a fratboy culture. Need to have been part of ConAgra Trade Group to have any pull in the company. Bonuses are awful and since the Marubeni deal. Work for gavilon for a year then go get paid elsewhere. However- not sure how far you'll get in interviews telling people you were trading gerbil food for a living.
