Business Outlook
Pros
Leadership seems to have solid long-term planning. It also seems very conservative in planning for dealing with the economic realities that everyone else is just now starting to come to grips with.
Cons
John Deere corporate culture is focused on manufacturing and is struggling to enter the information age. The culture is rooted in a factory floor mentality that translates poorly to innovation...and innovation is a huge issue for any company looking to expand and keep up with competition. Benefits wise the switch to a high-deductible medical insurance (HSA) has been a shock to my expectations of a company that takes care of its employees.
