Pros

Strong character amongst technician workforce

Cons

Sinister presence from top leadership that was asked to rebuild and startup the plant. Leadership wanted staff to make promises, and allowed them to work 14 eighty hour weeks in a row. Budgets were moved around to hide problems. Leadership gave sinister looks to people who put family first, then smiled and said “our culture is so awesome”. Top leadership at Cargill is no longer married, and they no longer have children. They are not sustainable, and they will do whatever they can to explain away a post like this. My friends worked at Cargill, and I watched them lose the things that should have been most important to them.

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!
