Pros

Cargill has had a good reputation, mostly be befitting from the big rise in commodity prices. The pay has been good and there have been a lot of opportunities but when times have got bad they have shown themselves not to be up to the challenge. Even though I held a position in Human Resources it is not a company I could recommend in good conscience to anyone looking to join.

Cons

Management has turned over very heavily in the last two years and it is not at all clear what Cargill is doing. Recent heavy layoffs have been managed extremely badly resulting in a lot of long tenured Cargill people really wondering what the place has come to.

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!
