Pros

Steady paycheck until there isn't one They offer benefits

Cons

Everything involves corporate red tape Mass layoffs handled like slaughtering cattle Company used to have good values but has gone completely WOKE Still growing outside the U.S. but laying off U.S. workers Complete mis-management from upper management. Focused on Greed not Employees. If you speak up about something they will just fire you Cut their Food Safety and Personal safety people and programs by huge amounts in the mass layoffs.

Pros

People who work at Cargill are often kind, reasonable, salt-of-the-earth humans.

Cons

There is a ton of complacency with "the way things have always been". Very difficult to make true change even when everyone recognizes it's necessary. The complete autonomy across business units means that there are no similar processes or ways of working, no clear path for talent through the organization. Cargill employees often say they stay for the culture, but because so many of them have been there for 10-20 years, they don't have any real source of comparison.
