Pros

Good pay as our union contract guarantees anything over 8 hours a day as automatically Overtime so you don’t have to reach 40 hours to receive the extra 4 hours worked after 8 hours so that is a definite pro. Good benefits package, plenty of opportunities to move up in the company. Yearly raises and and paid vacation, along with 48 hours of paid sick time per year along with 3 personal holidays.

Cons

12 hours days, but with this extra 4 hour past 8 hours a day are automatically Overtime. Having a social life can be a bit challenging due to swing shifts and having to change your schedule every two weeks as it it is swing shift, but the good thing about swing shift is they pay you an extra $1.90 per hour.

Pros

ADM is a company of deep integrity and invests heavily in employee education and support. I would definitely recommend a career with this global leader.

Cons

IT is a bit immature as compared to the companies overall maturity which can sometimes make it feel like an impossible task to catch up. :)

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
