Pros

Strong, privately held company that generally performs well. Use to treat employees well and had a long-term outlook on things. Generally great people that you'll work with on a daily basis. Good work-life balance. Lots of room for movement, even without moving locations

Cons

New CEO/management is changing the culture. Much more near-term focused and focused strongly on following what consultants say. Extremely consensus driven so everything takes a LONG time (and has to be approved by everyone in the food chain). Employees are not enabled to make decisions quickly. The gears of Cargill turn very slow and low performers are not moved out but rather succeed because of the internal network and move around (i.e. fail up)

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!
