Pros

The best thing about working for Cargill was their patience and ability to train up new employees from college. Their intern program is one of the better ones I've seen and has a real sense of community.

Cons

Always looking to cut costs as they have slim margins which makes salaries fairly weak for the first couple of years. However, you do learn a lot.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
