Cargill reviews

Compensation is on the low end. Merit increases aren't performance related. Cargill is like Mad Men! White males run the place, upper management and CEO are drinking buddies outside of work, they have their favourites while at work and don't attempt to hide it. HR dept is all women and they speak of diversity and being against discrimination in the workplace, but women are still treated like second class citizens (lower pay, rarely promoted to managerial roles, emails ignored, excluded from decision making, etc). If you happen to mention this, even in strict confidence, you are marked and eventually disposed of (let go, downsized, restructured...they will find a way to get you out!). Would definitely not recommend any women work here if they want to be taken seriously and are looking for a promising career.

* Please see review titled "Competitive salary at the cost of terrible work/life balance and frustrating management" as it is incredibly accurate. - The entire company culture demonstrates a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. - Management does not value workers. This has made several people feel severely undervalued and is most likely what is causing the extremely high turnover rate at this location. - Management hires personal friends and promotes them often without even posting the position. - Many departments gossip between each other and spread confidential information shared in confidence to managers or HR for scheduling purposes (i.e. people‘s personal/family situations). - They often have issues with payment. I worked for two months before receiving my first paycheque. My colleague was not paid her overtime for four months. I am currently still battling to receive my last weeks of pay after leaving the company. This is very frustrating. - HR is in Costa Rica. There is no "human" resources department on site. - This place has endless band-aid solutions. Instead of fixing an issue that will help everyone long-term, they simply come up with a last minute temporary solution that often makes things worse. This issue is mostly a continued problem because management does not consult with workers who know the issue inside and out. They simply make the most cost-effective decision. This, sadly, is most likely because it increases their end of year bonus. - Toxic work environment. Every man for themselves attitude. Playing politics with the right people will help you move up the ladder.
