Pros

The people I have met at the corporate office all seem to genuinely like working for Land O'Lakes. The benefits are decent, but health care in general in Minnesota isn't great, but that isn't something they can fix with a benefits package.

Cons

On the surface, LOL seems like a great company with competitive pay, and great benefits. It very well may be all those things at another location. I unfortunately had a horrible experience from start to finish at the location I worked out of. They started off by giving me a benefits package that included holidays off, only to find out after I was there that they were not given. That pretty much set the tone for the rest of my employment with them. They definitely abused the fact that I was salaried, I had no authority as a manager, and was pretty much run by the HR department. Hands down, LOL has been the most unethical company that I have ever worked for. As a result, the turnover rate for a supervisor position is extremely high. I believe there have been about 26 supervisors in the last 6 years for the 4 supervisor roles. I hoped things would improve with the new leadership in place, however based on the way I was treated after I put in notice, I doubt it will. I had high hopes for LOL since I had heard it was such a great company, but it fell very short. However, I will give the caveat that it could just be the one location, so just do your research.

Pros

Job security, and being able to have flexibility in the daily output

Cons

Worklife stability, next to impossible to advice in career unless wanting to move to rural America, executive leadership will constantly lie to better their roles.
