Management is nothing short of a dumpster fire. There are a lot of egos making decisions. Farm Journal will tell you how much they value their employees but those are very empty words. During my time, I saw multiple people laid off and then replacements brought in, which were also laid off within months.
There is also a very clicky culture within the workplace that includes people in management. If you are a writer, then your advancement opportunities are very limited.
You will also work a lot of outside hours for no more compensation and no thanks. This is largely due to the company piling multiple responsibilities onto employees, making it hard to actually do what they were hired to do.
When I started the position, I loved my job. I kicked butt every day and was highly motivated to perform. However, all of the issues with management, empty promises for raises and lack of any kind of leadership completely sucked the life out of my enthusiasm and enjoyment of work within three years.
Honestly, it was the most toxic place I've ever worked.
