Pros

The many different areas an engineer is exposed to at a Cargill meat processing plant is unlike any that I know of. A person can learn as much or as little as he/she is motivated to.

Cons

There is really poor leadership ammong upper management and a overall lack of communication within the facilities. The upper management has a very, "old school," mentality and typically does a terrible job of developing people.

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!
