Pros

Great people, great goals and a great company. They have a good intern program at most locations which should give a lot of responsibility and project design work to interns. Typical projects are equipment and piping installs or replacements, addressing safety issues with physical installations (need a new platform, etc). You really do an engineer's work.

Cons

Since Cargill is so big, you end up with some communication issues with new information across the large sites and general changes in info across the business unit or Cargill as a whole. For managers a lot of emails come to them, I believe and they feel overloaded.

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!
