Pros

The global scope of Cargill offers an incredible amount of opportunities for personal and professional growth and developement. For as large as the company is, it is founded on integrity and always doing the right thing. The core of the business is admirable.

Cons

For as large as the company is, communication and cooperation between business units is poor at best. The benefits of being part of a global company is lost with the inability to learn from the successes and mistakes of others and other business units. This coupled with top heavy management makes for inefficiencies and the inability to make quick, effective decisions. This leads to chasing where an industry is headed rather than leading it.

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!
