Pros

great growth opportunities It is very challenging which promotes a steeper learning curve. You will be promoted and/or moved around within the company if you'd like. You will be given a lot responsibilities from the beginning, again great growth. Privately owned company, so very stable during rough economy times.

Cons

Cargill does not pay their engineers! You will not be compensated nearly what the industry pays. They love to 'recognize" you but do not pay for your value. Even though it is private, it still has the big corporate BS games. This location has no diversity, this is primary due to location but when diversity is present they leave quickly. They advertise work-life balance but if you want to be on a good level and seen as a good employee you need to spend 10 hours a day. It gets political.

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!
