Money that’s it that’s all they have to offer. The corn syrup market is drying up and Ingredion is not investing in the HFCS plants.

No life just work 12-16 hours per shift or more.

Pros

Good mentors, great learning opportunity. Strong strategic plans make it easy to stay focused on scope and priorities.

Cons

Changed department and zero work life balance. Favoritism is big on people that have no life outside of Ingredion. Zero upward mobility and extremely large work loads.
