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.

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!
