Pros

a lot of good, very hard working and stressed co-workers and lower level people. Benefits are decent but they are declining fast.

Cons

Long 70 - 80 hour work weeks in certain areas, all of the former, top level staff have left, and the outsiders who have replaced them doubtfully have the knowledge and skill to replace that talent. Stress in some areas is intense, and the leadership is chaotic. They've switched to this formulaic goal achievement mess for reviews which is a huge waste of time.

Nepotism, incompetent management, complete disregard for colleagues and safety.

Pros

Good hourly-level colleagues whom I enjoyed working with very much.

Cons

Incompetent management. Harassment through repeated "random" drug tests for 6 consecutive months. Complete disregard for the safety of their colleagues. Kicked everyone who hadn't been there 5 years out of the pension system and took away all accrued benefits. Nepotism all the way to senior management in the Clinton, IA plant. ADM was the worst place I have ever worked and I regret taking the job. My only consolation is that it was a springboard to something much better a short time later.
