Why PotashCorp?
Six Reasons to Join PotashCorp
1. You’ll be part of the world’s food solution. Populations are growing. Diets are improving. Farmland is shrinking as cities expand. To produce more food on less land, the world needs fertilizer. As part of the world's largest fertilizer company, you'd play a part in solving one of the 21st century’s greatest challenges: feeding a growing global population.

2. We’ll help you grow your career. We have a long-term vision for our company, and we know how important good people are to realizing it. That’s why we invest in our employees. We offer career development opportunities, professional training and pay-for-performance incentives. We strive to fill senior staff openings with internal candidates. And, of course, we offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits.

3. You’ll join a global leader and innovator. At PotashCorp, we’ve built a world-class company, and we’re dedicated to finding new ways to improve our ability to deliver life-giving products. Our ongoing expansion projects will lead to many growth opportunities for you and your career.

4. You’ll be protecting the environment every day. Without fertilizer, at least 40% more land would be needed to grow the same amount of food the world’s farmers are producing now. That preserves a lot of wildlife habitat, forest and green space. But it’s only the beginning of our commitment to the environment. Minimizing our environmental impact is among our Core Values, and sustainable business practices are woven into every level of our operations, from our award-winning reclamation projects to our recycling programs. For more information, please see our sustainability report.

5. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to your community. You’ll be working with a company that encourages you to get involved. We support numerous causes and education initiatives through corporate donations and matching gift programs. With our employee volunteer opportunities, you can make a difference in your community, build communication and networking skills, and gain a new understanding of where you live and work.

6. You'll join a team that makes safety a priority. Nothing is more important to us than getting you home safely every day, and our award-winning safety performance reflects our commitment to doing just that. By training our managers and employees to the highest industry standards, we create a culture of safety awareness that will keep you on your toes and on the job.
