Pros

pension is ok below average in the industry but at least one is offered.

Cons

this company gives less than cost of living pay increases, and increases the employee contribution to the benefit package thus driving down your standard of living. The heath care package is poor 1million life time cap and if your heathy you will pay all of your heath care costs and typically not meet your deductible. This is by design. The management has 0 accountability , their slogan for safety is zero is possible. but should be zero is probable as anything that may occur will be blamed on the effected employee 100% of the time regardless of any circumstance. This is also by design and the reason for their belief in zero is possible , zero liability as their goal. I believe their primary concern is not the safety of the employees as much as it is to cover their liability in any situation regardless of anything else. I worked for ADM for 23 years as a maintenance A my job was to help maintain the electrical maintenance troubleshoot electrical problems and support of primarily electrical based problems in the plant. I received my Journeymans and Master electricians license while I worked there. but this company does not have electricians on staff thus my maintenance A job description. They do this so the can pay the employees less than electrician standard wages and still have them do electrical work. I would not recommend this job to anyone. I finally got fed up and left it was not hard to find a company to top what this one offered.

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
