      Hard to break into the "good ol' boys club" - Human Resources Manager Cargill Employee Review

      Pros

      Good pay, bonus, and benefits package. Company is very generous in the community and a pretty good corporate citizen in Minneapolis. Company is very opportunistic and overall senior management seems to do a pretty good job of buying distressed businesses and holding them while things turn around.

      Cons

      Company tends to be dominated at mid management and senior management level by "lifelong" employees that came in from college from their trainee program. This creates a "good ol' boy" culture that is difficult to break into. Many people that are hired from the "outside" are always seen as "outsiders".

      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!
