Cargill Supervisor Reviews

Pluspunten

-competitive salary, bonus, RRSP matching and benefits -develop firefighting, stress management and diplomacy skills -would suggest for new graduates seeking employment or leadership experience (for about 2-3 years) -would suggest for people who enjoy/know how to play politics to climb the corporate ladder -free food sometimes. Sensory products for testing and holiday events -very diverse work group with a lot... of ethnicities -some very friendly and hard working people are definitely here buried amongst others who aren't

Minpunten

Please note: this is about the London location only. -absolutely abysmal work/life balance. Hourly are regularly mandated to work overtime (12 hours). Salary are not safe either: 9 hours a day minimum and there is work almost every weekend (Sat and Sun). Your schedule will change in short notice especially if your department runs more than one shift. Planning life outside work is difficult because of these. -a... lot of the hourly are jaded against management and the company. They only work here because they can't find this salary anywhere else growing discontent by the day. This can lead to a toxic work environment. -there is a glut in salaried staff that do little to seemingly nothing. You will often wonder "what does this person do?" and "who do I actually go to for a decision?". -meetings upon useless meetings where people just talk about how they feel about issues and come up with surface level corrective actions. -Decision making and management is frustrating. Management appear afraid to make mistakes, defer to others to do it for them and delay making crucial decisions. -if you are not friends with the right people, don't expect a promotion or movement. -Communication is often not effective. This is partly because of last minute decision making leading to last minute changes where the information doesn't get dispersed to the correct people. -Supervisors are not appreciated. These leaders do a lot of hard work and are stuck in the middle of a jaded staff who don't like change and management who often disregard feedback. -At the end of the day, the overall goal is to slaughter thousands and thousands of chickens to make fried chicken product for fast food. Not only are you contributing to climate change but you are contributing an unhealthy lifestyle. If you can get past this- go for it.

Advies aan management

-Care more about your staff and their well being. Not everyone lives to work. -Make hard decisions and give your rationale or reasoning to everyone that needs to know. -Eliminate or conglomerate a lot of the salaried staff. If people aren't getting things done then find out why and hold them accountable. -Push for making deeper culture and systematic changes instead of applying easy, surface level/bandaid... solutions to long term problems.

Pluspunten

Stable job with regular benefits. If you work in corporate or with the administrative staff or in food safety you'll be fine. If not good luck.

Minpunten

Don't work there for too long. They do not care about you. They talk to you like if you need to die right there. Corporate is an exclusive club, only they matter to them. The manager favorite slogan is "Everybody is replaceable". A lot of sick people for the repetitive work, injuries, etc.

Believe in your internal people at the floor level, give them the opportunity think. They can think. Teach your managers not to be micro-managers.

Typically spread thin. Being mid management you usually can't keep up with how much is happening in both small and big picture

Staff for more than you need to. It's good so many people continue to grow in Cargill, but they leave gaps when they're gone that don't get filled quickly.

Pluspunten

Very understanding, approachable and open business. Competitive wages, bonuses and overtime. Work life balance is on mind of all employees and recommended by managers to follow it. Great company to learn from and they are willing to put in the investment if the employer is willing to put in the time. Endless possibilities of careers within the company.

Minpunten

Peak season hours can be long but that is expected in the industry. Sales and operations should work as a single identity and have the same benefits and privileges, ie: bonus structure

Keep doing what your doing, it was a great work experience for myself.

Pluspunten

Cargill is a huge company with 155,000+ employees and more opportunities than you can imagine. Great pay and raises, bonuses yearly. Great benefits. If you are wiling to put in the hours/work you will get noticed.

Minpunten

Long hours and a lot of weekend/overtime work even on salary. Upper management can be stressful. If you work in the feed and nutrition division of cargill you will work your tail off.

Hire people and pave a better route to success. It was either sink or swim for me and luckily, I am a swimmer. Other good employees could lose hope and fall through the cracks.
