Challenging and rewarding, yet extremely unorganized
Management Associate (Former Employee) - Olathe, KS - January 26, 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThe 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

Good Job but lacks cultural
Production Lead (Former Employee) - Mason City, IA - January 13, 2023
Not a bad job at all worked long hours during covid. Work hours will always fluctuate but always opportunities for more hours lacking culture sometimes it feels like your just there to work but learned a lot overall

Jobs at Cargill
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.

General Production Worker (Former Employee) - West Columbia, SC - January 10, 2023
Great pay. Good comments about management and co workers that work with u. It's cold but you get use to the temperature especially if you have worked in cold and damp wet environment before.

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 lunch One 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.
