Pros

Great benefits and good mill management. Felt that mill manager genuinely cared about employees’ well being and reinforced a positive culture.

Cons

Upper management operates without communicating and training. No way to move up/advance even with great feedback and ability to train others. HR seems to hire based off connections rather than skillset. Company enforced layoffs/mill shut downs of great employees even though it’s a billion dollar company with less than 500 employees. Numbers are unethical. Corporate/hr employees have spotty reputation probably because theres little to no communication when we were once involved and engaged in changes. I would not recommend GC given it operates with no communication or training through change, and corporate is inconsistent with policies and employees, (advancement opportunities, pay increases, and time off all seem to be free-for-all’s depending who the employee is) creates common lack of trust from employees and a toxic work environment.

Pros

Absolutely nothing other than my team members.

Cons

The company does in fact not care about their employees. They preach that “what good are we without our people” but turn around and treat them disrespectfully. Employees who are doing the grunt of the work are talked down on, even though they are the ones keeping the business flowing with other counterparts. Leadership at this company is a joke. In my time with the company, I received numerous calls from plant workers that were complaining because the account managers/salesmen left and golfed too much. They are actively working to lay off the majority of their corn milling division that they acquired from Bunge just about 1 year ago.
