Pros

Company is doing well, despite the poor economy due to their diversification. There could be lots of opportunities to move around the different divisions to perform different jobs and build a strong career, but it's hard to actually switch divisions. you get stuck in the one division and the career path is limited. International opportunities available, but hard to come by and often in locations you wouldn't want to work.

Cons

work/life balance is terrible. pretty much expected to work 50-60 hours per week, and often much more, including weekends. compensation is on par for the industry, but too low.

Pros

Many career advancement opportunities if you can play the game

Cons

Long hours (50+), on call weeks/weekends, people are not treated the same, management does not listen, management does not care about engagement, management does not care about people/thinks people are just bodies at your disposal, below average pay.

Pros

opportunities for advancement. career growth is second to none at Cargill, with so many business units and different industries the opportunities are endless.

Cons

pay may be a tiny bit below others, but for the 7th biggest company in the world and largest private company, the benefits and relocation packages are awesome
