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.
