Cargill Employee Reviews & Ratings

- very fast pace environment -

Hike is not based ok skills Poor performance reviews

Havent been with them long enough

You will be subjected to customers’ demands and abuse daily. You are tied to the phone and your desk all day long. You will not have time to get involved with company philanthropy like you are encouraged to do. Management loves to consolidate teams to cut down on the amount of managers they need, giving you less and less one-on-one attention. Supervisors are completely removed. You are forced to ask other coordinators for advice and training because of this. People quit or apply to other departments and then are not replaced, increasing everyone’s work load. Cargill’s favorite past time is using the smallest amount of people and resources possible to create the largest possible output without regard for work/life balance, the use of vacation days, mental health, or a decent salary. You WILL be performing jobs that are not outlined in your job responsibilities and your salary will not reflect this. These problems do not stop with positions in customer operations but extend to supply planning, invoicing, trucking, and management. This is a corporate job and they will use you up. Turnover here is a joke. You are replaceable and you’ll never get to forget it. But don’t worry, once a year is “customer ops appreciation week” and you get to play online bingo for gift cards.

Too much drama. Management nightmare to deal with

Pay isn't as impressive when compared to the same roles in other industries.

huge company with many org changes Growth comes first

No complaints as a former employee, this company is Awesome!

No cons to add here

relocation is what helps you get what you want, if you view it as a con

This company may seem too large for some.

a lot of procedures and segmentations

the cons arent coming to mind but i kno there has to be.

too much work load salary is not competitive

None that I can think of really

Huge organization that can be difficult to navigate

Nothing to say to for now.

Politics at work space could be a huge non starter

Revolving door at times Location in unfavourable location

crew can be hard to get along with

As a maintenance mechanic you must work every Sunday.

Because of the age of the Dayton plant a lot of work that should be easy takes hours longer than it should. Additionally there are perennial issues with not being fully staffed, as of Oct 23 we had enough people to support 6 month development projects for chemists for the first time since ~2019

Very big organization which makes it slow

Terrible culture, not open to hearing any problems or helping you succeed. They don't have much in the way of employee support or care how the person is doing. all that matters is making money.

Low pay, median benefits, very white and midwestern

Difficulty in progressing up in your career.

Can feel a bit too big at times.

Long hours with high expectations

Boring, some employees are sexist woman haters, the union rep plays favorites, some coworkers flip out for no reason and some try to fight you in the parking lot over pettiness, short breaks, most days you can't take a break because the people that are supposed to give you breaks don't want to, very hot in half the building-90 to 120 degrees fereinhight, 5 floors-10 sets of steps and the elevators been broken for more than a year, equipment is from 70s and constantly breaking but the company keeps trying to motivate the operators to make more production with bandaged machines by buying us generic pizza and cake and giving us t-shirts but the problem is they cut maintenance hours, they also cut the cleaning crew's hours and expecting the operators to do the job of the cleaning crew for the same pay as before at the same time as keep the malfunctioning lines running. The place is falling apart. They won't fix the seals on the tank so we have keep cleaning 40,000 pounds of liquid chocolate off the floor in 120 degrees-same messes over and over again. More and more college graduates with no experience are taking over making the rules about a job they have no training in. It's all going downhill and no wonder why they're so desperate for good employees all the time, they can't anyone like this. We are forced to things we are not allowed to do in order to keep the lines running. Most of the leads in refining get snippy when you ask them to do their job and help you or explain to you how to do things because they think they are being paid more than you to sit on their but and watch YouTube ALL DAY.

Salary structure very low. Give better salary

difficult for development, slow to progress

way too many hours with no end in sight, no training (kind of understandable; due to Covid they don't pair you up with someone), all day repetitive motions hard on hands and body

I have no problem with the company as of now.

non stops calls fast paced work after hours

Not too many from my duration there, high turnover for production leadership team and communication

As with any big companies, your micro-experience really depends on your team. There's a lot of "weak links" who are kept around for too long without oversight.

Downside is bare knuckles environment and no nonsense. If you cant handle the heat keepbit moving.

They tend to do a lot of reorgs.

None that I can think of

Ambiguous roles and responsibilities Lack of system and data integrity

- Roles do not match job description

Workload involves managing uncertainty and constant turnover

- Business Units work in silos. When working on new requirement its difficult to know if such requirement is already implemented in another BU or country within Cargill - Contractors handle the bulk of the work

Traditional style of working. Not open for changes.

Somewhat slow, bureaucratic and opaque decision making and prioritization.

Downtime when there is no work, you dont get paid.

Upper management makes poor decisions loaning money when they shouldn't and paying investors over what was due. Benefits are at par and though you have your best sales year ever, don't expect a bonus though

Calls get over run, especially in global calls

office is situated in eco space the area is super crowded.

Nothing I can think of at the moment
