Pros

Vacation days are decent and the benefits are average for most companies. There are some opportunities to volunteer and participate in community efforts.

Cons

Cargill has goals that are so aggressive that most businesses and employees have no way of achieving these goals. This is even more of an issue when your bonus is tied to business performance. Pay is low compared to competitors and morale is not good, which is why you see so much turnover below the management level (most managers are paid well and have a corporate sponsor backing their career progression). Due to constant budget issues, the business is always looking to cut corners and save money, sometimes that means cutting much needed positions. This leads to double and triple workloads for certain employees. The culture is exceptionally toxic, filled with back stabbing and lying. I have also witnessed numerous examples of sexism and racism, but leadership and HR never followed up on those reports.
