Cargill

My experience was rather a complex one, on one hand you have management saying one thing and on the other you have employees saying another thing. But at the end of the day if they had to choose between you and them, they wouldn't hesitate to burn you 100 percent every time. Instead of coming to work to just work and mind your business you had to play the game. Which was cater to certain individuals whether it'd be management or other employees. Even if they were wrong. If you didn't pick a side and decided to be a mature adult and just carry on with your responsibilities and work. You were known as the outcast. It was just the telephone game in that company, specifically the Newark ca location. A game of my stick is bigger than your stick. You would think a company like Cargill salt that has been around for years would have a mature work environment. Most employees are in their late 40's and up. Most of them are close to retirement. They are some of the unhappiest people ever to meet.

The cargill company was a good place to work before the Compagny saled to JBS Compagny, I quit the jbs becasue they don’t have the good rule of work like Cargill.

I Love to work at Cargill : I Love challenges of keeping the public healthy and secure and the Management team did help very well. Thanks

Cargill help me grow as an individual and gave me an opportunity to come in a leader and a professional. I spent 17 years with their organization. I was proud to work for them.

There is no one global approach even for the same product category, its depend the regional leader and used what I get from outside in to Cargill. Strong authority of business leaders however the reporting line to the function therefore a lot of disruption and loosing focus.

Cargill as a company is a wonderful caring, growing, strong, amazing Company. The constant turn over in supervision is Definitely in consistent. However, for reason of constant growth to beginning and advancing makes sense.

Developed sales for a start up division and experienced a situation were we started acquiring other companies that I was acquiring business from. As part of the acquisition process I was basically demoted everytime a new acquissition was made. I very much hoped for a life time career there but eventually the acquisition of a McDonalds supplier took over and told me that he didnt want me around and I should find new employment. I relocated and left a great job for this company and was left stranded in a rural area without a job and a family to support.

I liked most everybody i worked with there but there is a difference between "a good place to work" and "good people making the best of a bad situation". I don't want to rag on it because working weekends, production goals and "do more with less" management attitude is pretty industry standard in this area at least, but it could at least be competitive with the pay. That said, i worked in maintenance. I would never in a million years take a production job there. Working on the line or as a manager. Many may disagree but what i saw was hard work, long hours and low pay.

I was a supervisor in the shipping and receiving department for 12 years and had a great crew. When I ended my career with Cargill it was due to the favoritism and seeing the people who didn’t deserve to be a leader because they were the problem and reason people left, put in charge to make life at Cargill a worse place to work I had enough and was about to lose my cell because the stress was causing high blood pressure. If Cargill would open their eyes look at how things are run throughout their plants they would be able to save a lot of employees and bring the turnover down. Which leads to the work home life which you can’t have because they are so short handed because of the turnover and the point system which really sucks with the COVID going on and families not having enough time to spend at home to deal with family issues. I have a great writing on what really goes on inside and what really happens which is why I no longer work for that company.
