New CEO, Lack of Change Mangement Causing Chaos - Anonymous employee Farm Journal Employee Review

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote work, kind colleagues, room to grow

Cons

It's a really, really scary time to be employed at Farm Journal. The new CEO announced a reorg months ago, but created no change management plan to operationalize it. He hired his buddies from past jobs and provided them executive management roles, filling out an already bloated leadership team. What was an undercurrent of an old boys club before is fully front and center as what it is. This company has so much going for it... but now is not the time to join unless you like being asked to run at full speed without a comp plan, compass or word of encouragement.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review! We are so glad that you are seeing all the positive changes in the way we operate. We also appreciate the comment about some unsteadiness.
