A mix-bag of rewarding, frustrating, exciting and stressful.

Pros

Great compensation package (pay, bonus and benefits). A real opportunity for advancement and a lifelong career.

Cons

With a "decentralized" approach, comes unnecessary inner conflict and unfruitful competition. Sometimes (not always) close-minded to new ideas or concepts. Sometimes (not always) searches for the path of least resistance when a more technical and in-depth approach is required.

We sincerely appreciate your time in reviewing CGB and providing your own firsthand account. As you note, we do offer a great compensation and benefits package. We’ve worked hard to ensure we remain the top of the industry in that regard and most recently have won awards in respect to our retirement package. As a company, we are committed to achieving the most productive approach to both everyday business decisions and embracing new ideas. As you note, it’s important to keep an open mind and embrace a diverse workforce – we couldn’t agree more. Thank you again for your comments, noted and appreciated.

Pros

Lots of good, hard-working people, get-it-done mentality. Good benefits, strong focus on ethics and safety. New focus on leadership development. Leadership experienced in the industry. Opportunity for advancement for new hires in the field. Stable company.

Cons

Women are undervalued and under utilized and leadership would say that's the nature of the business. Reality is that capable women are rarely invited or involved in important decision-making, but relied on for low level decisions and to "administer". Female employees expressed frustration but were resigned to the culture.

It is true that, in the past, this industry has been predominantly male driven. Over the past several years, CGB has developed and maintains a strong commitment to increasing the number of female leaders within the company and workforce. We continue to hire and promote women for leadership roles within our organization and we enhance leadership skills for both men and women through a company designed and ongoing program called “Leadership Foundations.” CGB is also in its third year of a women specific mentoring program called “Lead Retain Grow” in which we assign mentors to female professionals to facilitate continued growth. If you have anything additional to share, I would welcome a direct discussion to learn more about your specific experience. Thank you for your comments. We certainly appreciate the perspective and feedback. Kevin Adams, President & CEO

Pros

Only pro I can honestly think of is it's a job and pays some money. They also help you with a moving bonus.

Cons

Long hours year round. Didn't even notice it was harvest until I saw the fresh grain because of all the hours I was used to working. Had other people at my same position in my area yet I was only one who had to work every weekend and pulled 10 hour days 6 days a week while they took off Fridays to golf with our boss and didn't work but a few weekends.

It's tough to hear strong negative feedback - especially from a former employee (because we have no opportunity to directly address the issue with you and - if possible - keep you as a part of our team). I will ensure that the region general manager for your region has the opportunity to review this. Long hours are a part of harvest season in many agriculture-based businesses. However, we don't expect that work would be assigned in ways that would cause this level of impact to one employee and have no effect on others in the same or comparable role. Would you be open to email so we can set up time to discuss in greater detail? Mark Berry, Vice President, HR
