Pros

Looks good on the resume.

Cons

Cargill used to be known as a great company to work for. People would start and end their careers here. Now, Cargill has two main objectives: the bottom line and not admitting when they're wrong. They focus more on outsourcing American jobs to India to save employment costs rather than building high performing, collaborative teams that drive improvements.

Pros

Cargill is a large company with presence around the world. This gives lots of opportunities to enrich your work, meeting with other people from around the world. Overall working environment is friendly with colleagues showing respect to each other. There are close to 65 different business units which provides ample opportunity to have diversity in one's career.

Cons

Corporate culture is pretty conservative and very much immune to transformative change. This is a company where incremental change is encouraged versus step change one seeks in a business transformation. Accountability on decisions are not kept to the personal level where managers prefer joint accountability with other managers/committees.

Pros

There are several different areas to work in,with multiple positions in each.The benefits are good, especially for families.Plant safety is a high concern.

Cons

The facility is under union contract,and many of the workers have more than 20 years of seniority, so promotion is difficult.Management is very insensitive to employees personal needs.
