The company is great and I hold Cargill in high regard. They have not moved on past COVID and continue to struggle with new employee onboarding and training. It was difficult to make connections. There is a mixture of great employees and not-so-great employees. Due to disorganization, poor training, and ineffective workplace structure I left.

Unfair work practices

Process Technician (Current Employee) - Ankeny, IA - January 19, 2023

New employees can have OT taken from them by another employee that's been there longer even though they volunteered first and the rotation schedule is a plus depending on the home life.

Pros

Paid lunch

Cons

Not a steady schedule and unfair work practices

Inclusive workplace

Supply Chain Intern (Former Employee) - Wayzata, MN - January 18, 2023

Worked here for an internship. All of the employees I interacted with were very nice and supportive. I really liked the workplace culture, but not necessarily the work that I was doing.

Puts off important work until breakdowns occur to maximize throughput

Production Supervisor (Current Employee) - Cedar Rapids, IA - January 16, 2023

Company offers good experience for new graduates, but exploits them by pushing them into/backfilling Mid-Senior level roles and sets them up for failure. The people there are enjoyable to be around, but the company consistently values throughput over taking care of mechanical issues within the facility. Safety is a very important thing, but is driven mostly by management.

Pros

Lots of Opportunity, good well-rounded experience

Cons

Work/Life Balance, overworked and underpaid

Easy work, underpaid

Food Handler (Current Employee) - Monticello, MN - January 16, 2023

Those of us that can keep up on production floor, work harder than the ones that can’t. Management doesn’t do anything about it. A few of us help with all the breaks (five) and we are not compensated with all the extra work we do every day. Not even a thank you.

Pros

Good benefits

Cons

Not compensated when you work harder

not the hardest job, poor management, poor pay

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Topeka, KS - January 11, 2023

not the hardest job, poor management, poor pay . Seems to have a tendency to retain the lowest quality human beings, so if you like to work in a scrummy environment, this might be for you.

Good long-term career opportunities

EH&S (Current Employee) - Eddyville, IA - January 10, 2023

Since it’s a large plant and a large company there are good long- term career opportunities either here at Eddyville or elsewhere. Tuition reimbursement means you can get a good- paying job then also earn a degree on line over time.

Typical warehouse environment

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Newnan, GA - December 31, 2022

Cold environment.Decent pay.Good for anyone who only wants to work. Worked on average 60 hours a week. Attendance bonus.30 min lunchOne 15 break if you are getting off earlier.Two 15 breaks or one 30 if you are getting of later.Work with raw meat so it can be wet and stinky. Never know exactly what time you get off. You come in at 7 and could get off anywhere from 3pm-6pm, and always tell you last minute when you get off or if you are working the weekend. Expect you to come in 30 before a shift for safety meetings about once a month.
