Pros

I really enjoyed the majority of my co-workers during a 6 year stint as an engineer at Cargill. Lots of promotion opportunities and a real sense of camaraderie. Plenty of opportunity to do things outside of your comfort level and you are only limited by yourself.

Cons

Salary was below average. Workload was often very high. Not a very good work-life balance compared to other companies I have been with. It's a constant grind. Unfortunately you often have to compensate for the slack of other employees and management. Most people are very over-worked and disengaged.

Pros

Management is very professional, They are responsive to complaints and do not micromanage. Allow you to grow and take care of things you need to without much oversight. Fellow Employees are helpful with training and covering shifts when needed. Overall everyone seems to care about the work and each other. When things are running well, the job itself is not too stressful.

Cons

Can be on night shift Starting out until there are openings on Day shift. Dusty environment, dangerous work with highly combustible Liquids. When equipment has issues, it can be very taxing.
