Pros

Used to be viewed as a company with high integrity, commitment to people, and great opportunity for advancement. I don't believe the past profile can carry the company. If the company can turn around- it might be back to 'good' in 3-5 years

Cons

Poor leadership and direction in IT causes peers to compete for 'turf'. No recognition of talent or leveraging key skills on individuals. Company is missing out on huge market opportunities because only focus is cost. Look to other local corporates and see how they are competing to win in a tough AG market. Bring in new Top level IT leadership with solid industry experience.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
