      Pros

      Lots of opportunities for growth. Good benefits, educational reimbursement 401k, pension plan. Most leadership is proactive and easy to work with

      Cons

      Company is always changing policy, lots of off shoring of US jods. Pay raises are few and far between. Sometimes hard to advance

      Uneven corporate culture

      Pros

      Company that bears down and does great work. Very practical company that is proud of its heritage and mission to feed the world. As a private company, it is surprising how big and international the company really is. Great benefits and great work/life balance.

      Cons

      Company is built up from seventy business units, with the number fluctuating every few months through M&A and divestitures. This leads to a very uneven corporate culture and thus a lot of businesses aren't bought into a single Cargill entity. Corporate culture tends to be very inward looking and so changes can take a long time to happen.

      Pros

      Benefits were great, best I've seen, well thought out training. Some ability for limited travel. Global company, noble motive to feed the world. Strong identify and culture.

      Cons

      Incredibly poor work/life balance yet they preached how important it was. Salaried, 70+ hours per week, ended up making about $10 per hour if you factor all the hours. "you're the new guy out of college, so you can work these hours" got old really quickly. Lots of top-down directives followed by micro-management. Ended up doing a lot of work that someone with no education should have been doing had I been allowed to hire the correct number of people (flipping lids on railcars at 3 am).
