Pros

None,anymore. When I started 16 yrs. ago, Cargill was a great company, with pension, bonuses,and good wages. Gradually, they have taken all these away, and cynically, replaced them with posters about "VALUING PEOPLE". I Guess, if you were a really lazy person, a pro would be that as long as you said something wonderful about the company in the presence of management every day, you could stay there a long time without doing any actual work.

Cons

Becoming increasingly autocratic by the day, no common sense when it comes to safety, wastes millions on "flavor of the month" programs like Behavioral based safety and reliability excellence, "team coaches" that are of extremely questionable value. Too much corporate Koolaid to drink, only sycophants need apply for promotions.

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!
