      Good company overall, international opportunities, but limited.

      Pros

      Company is doing well, despite the poor economy due to their diversification. There could be lots of opportunities to move around the different divisions to perform different jobs and build a strong career, but it's hard to actually switch divisions. you get stuck in the one division and the career path is limited. International opportunities available, but hard to come by and often in locations you wouldn't want to work.

      Cons

      work/life balance is terrible. pretty much expected to work 50-60 hours per week, and often much more, including weekends. compensation is on par for the industry, but too low.

      Pros

      Cargill overall has done well by me. I've been promoted twice in 4 years. There is a lot opportunity for college grads to take on large scale projects and be in charge of many areas of the plants. They have strong core values and safety and integrity is always key. There are tons of opportunities to gain and build on your knowledge base. Senior leadership has a pretty good understanding on challenges at the plant level and Safety is lived, not just talked about.

      Cons

      Too many large initiatives happening at the same time. As a manager it can be difficult to drive change, hold ourselves and others accountable for the change, and convince reluctant employees to change when we have 3 or 4 large scale changes every couple of years or so.
