Pros

High integrity and strong values. Cargill's "guiding principles" describe guide of conduct how to do business. Many companies should emulate. Great people

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, too heavy and long processes making us miss opportunities. Have become too short-term focused e.g. overvaluing next quarter earnings although it is a private company. That made the company focus too much on the easiest way of cost reduction: freeze capex and fire employees

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
