      Bioproducts: terrible management, terrible hours, good people

      Pros

      The only pros I can think of are the wonderfully supportive coworkers I was lucky enough to have on my shift and the opportunity to learn how to use and troubleshoot a wide variety of analytical instruments.

      Cons

      Swing shift is awful. Weekly rotation from 1st to 2nd to 3rd. You tell yourself "yeah, I can deal with it," but it consumes your life after awhile. The overtime pay is great, but because of constant call-offs and understaffing, you're slammed with overtime and held over often. Management could care less about the quality of your work - they only want results. I never once felt important working at ADM - I was a number-generating drone - and none of the science I learned in school was applied during my job.

      Pros

      ADM provides free iced tea and popcorn everyday. They have a great omelete bar about once a week, and the salad bar is pretty good.

      Cons

      ADM uses very old practices and has an older management mentality. It is very hierarchical. An outsider would also be surprised as some of the basic policies that this MNC does not have. The salaries are not as high as they should be across the board. I feel that they take advantage of local people from the central Illinois area in providing these lower salaries. In addition, it is troubling to see the company move its headquarters to Chicago from Decatur. I understand to an extent the business reasons for doing this, but I am concerned that this will severely damage an already fragile economy. Decatur was the subject of a recent Wall Street Journal article describing the serious challenges. It just feels like ADM is leaving its roots and sacrificing the people of Decatur in the process.
