Pros

Truly a global business, with operations and work opportunities around the world. Cargill also has a surprisingly wide range products, from bulk commodities and food ingredients, to industrial chemicals and biotech, too trading and financial services. Plenty of opportunities for a varied, life-long career. Cargill is a very stable company and had a strong sense of ethics and fair business practices.

Cons

With size and 150 years of history, it has developed sclerotic bureaucracy that it is having a hard time shaking. Until recently, senior mgmt was almost entirely home-grow talent, leading to myopia and glacial pace of change.

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!
