Pros

Cargill is a top company with some great strength in the area of Maintenance and Reliability. Innovation is key and yet the manufacturing sector isn't encouraged to participate.

Cons

Some of the leaders at their manufacturing plants run the plant with the "Good Old Boy" network taking precedence over the results and talents of the employees and managers whom they are responsible for leading.

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!
