Pros

Large, stable company, good benefits (not the best, but above average), good spectrum of products. Upper management is good. Average to good training programs that have improved over the years. Good place to start a career, not finish.

Cons

Oppressive mid management in the ag sector. Lots of corporate bullying in ag sector. Regularly runs off workers over 55 by closing good territorys for "business reasons" which makes it harder to file discrimination suits. Lots of "lip service" on important issues that drag the company down. Micro manageing limits free thinkers and creativity. They are happy with being average and not the best in a competitive market place.

Pros

They gave me a job after I was laid off from my last job in April. My coworkers are helpful and the pay is decent. I worked at my previous company for 25 years so having friendly coworkers helps make the transition easier.

Cons

Company is huge and management doesn't have a clue as how to organize everything. I am a technology analyst and am good at what I do. However, at a new company you need some help to aclimate yourself to your new environment. Also the commute is brutal. While I live and work in NJ my commute is just way too far. I am learning there is very little chance of job advancement. I recently got my license in another area and I am currently working on my own business. Once it takes off I am moving on.
