Pros

nice people, easy place to work, easy to collect a pay check, no sense of urgency.....always "it can get done tomorrow" culture so limited stress....

Cons

Too many to list...If you want to step back in time then Cargill is the place to work. Show-up, Shut-up and leave culture. Easy place to collect a pay check and not push yourself. Actually don't push at Cargill because the culture does not reward different thought process. No professional or intellectual diversity.....almost comical how arrogant and out of touch the people company is with modern business. New ideas are challenged and generally not accepted as Cargill's approach to business very "top down" and becomes obvious that new, outside ideas are politely pushed aside.... Traders and most of the employees at Cargill have limited math, and no technical capabilities. If you know math and have programming skills one can get away with murder at Cargill because no one will understand what your doing. Lots of people doing the same same way because lack of intellectual diversity forces mediocrity. A few bright spots but overall Cargill is what one expects. An old firm where the culture supports mediocrity and the status quo.
