A gathering place for inept and absent management
Pros
The hours were pretty reasonable...although you are basically on call 24/7 365, the demands outside of the office are reasonable.
Cons
Where do we begin? The management is the worst I have seen in any organization. Although Cargill as a whole maintains a good brand image, the business unit I was in was full of uneducated and absent management. It was clear that you climb the ranks because of someone you know and not because of skills or potential. Management was basically just there to collect their enormous salaries with minimal effort. The salary left a lot to be desired...and the benefits are terrible, high deductible plans with high out of pocket maximums. If you desire to better yourself through further education get ready to play 20 questions...instead of getting support with your goals, they become paranoid that your end goal is to leave them. Overall, a top heavy, stagnant workplace with virtually no room for advancement filled with inept management. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere before considering working here.
