Pros

Lot of good and undervalued people. Ability to learn industry needs and secrets. Agriculture industry will always have a future (people need to eat).

Cons

Company went into multiple transformations having leadership, strategy, technology, culture and talent issues. Too much politics everywhere. Marionette management is primarily relegated to operational issues. No teamwork, bosses will never stand for their employees. Absence of feedback loop back from top level. Lack of constrained strategic planning leads to unrealistic expectations. Huge trust and dependency of third party delivery partners (consultants) without any quality control leads to "sub-optimal" and questionable decisions. Plenty of talkers who feels threatened therefore trying to kill the competition by getting rid of doers/triers. - Personnel optimization - reduction without replacement, company is full of "survivors"; - Good employees escaping leaving empty desks behind; - Constant "firefighting"; - Encouraging strategy to play safe and stay low; - Demotivated, unhappy and bored people only seeking for opportunities to leave; - Issues remains unresolved for months; - No resources to do anything;

Pros

401k match. That's it. Nothing else.

Cons

If you are a woman or a person of color get as far as possible away from this place. Not only is it a boys club - it is a good ole boys club. The racist and misogyny are rampant and leadership has their heads to far up their assets to notice it. Outside of the operators dey hire just enough people of color and women to say they at least have one. They always say they are looking for ways to be better but the good ole boys at the plant leadership level are deaf to anyone that doesn't look like them.
