Pros

Good pay and work-life balance

Cons

The company values mediocrity. Cargill is an acquisition company, it does not really produce goods or services. The senior leadership is low talent and not very impressive. People walk around boasting about their strategies "my strategy is...", but from the way that the company performs and operates it is clear that the strategies don't work. Cargill is privately held so there is a massive lack of transparency. The goal is to make money for the living Cargill family members and keep them happy. You can be lazy here and make good money. That is the norm and is encouraged. Smile a lot, be a yes person, look busy , oh and walk around talking about your strategies (whether you have any or not) and you will fit in just fine.

Pros

Management is very professional, They are responsive to complaints and do not micromanage. Allow you to grow and take care of things you need to without much oversight. Fellow Employees are helpful with training and covering shifts when needed. Overall everyone seems to care about the work and each other. When things are running well, the job itself is not too stressful.

Cons

Can be on night shift Starting out until there are openings on Day shift. Dusty environment, dangerous work with highly combustible Liquids. When equipment has issues, it can be very taxing.
