      Good Company - New Direction Questionable

      Pros

      Great workforce! The teams I worked with were knowledgable and had dedicated work ethics. The new reorganization efforts are velry difficult to understand. Only value that is visable right now is the bottom line.

      Cons

      Once and for many years voted as a top employer by the employees, the recent changes have toppled that perception. A great loss to a once admired local company.

      Pros

      Fitness center is quite nice Diversified businesses beyond simply commodities International interactions - can work with people from around the world Interesting work with lots of variety Ethical

      Cons

      Employees, especially those with experience, are undervalued Short term money saving metrics more important than developing skills of team members Certain leaders more interested in own internal networking and managing up than in team they are to be leading and supporting Benefits are being cut left and right, some cuts are not being communicated clearly. Ageism

      Cargill is a very paternalistic company where employees are treated like family and sometimes, like children.

      Pros

      As a privately-held company, Cargill usually does not react without good thought to market pressures. Projects are given time to succeed. Culture is important to the organization. Cargill picks employees that fit into their culture - so you feel like a part of the team right away. There are so may different business units, there are many ways to learn and move around the organization (usually laterally). If you like to learn, you'll never stop learning at Cargill. No one person ever knows everything. CEO Greg Page is one of the brightest CEOs in the US today. In fact, Cargill is filled with incredibly smart people.

      Cons

      The company is decades behind in technology implementations and in the policies surrounding it. No access to personal email or social media like Twitter or YouTube. If you are trying to learn how to do something, and there is a video on YouTube, you need to find it at home. If you want to follow industry leaders and organizations on Twitter, do it at home. Leaders are primarily 50-something white men. Very few women in top leadership and few people of color as well. Cargill is struggling with an SAP implementation and allowing Accenture to drive their business decisions.
