Pros
The pay, benefits and merit increases were very competitive and fair. Often adjustments would be made to management employee salaries to bring them up to par with similar industry wide positions salaries when necessary. Actual job and responsibilities and working environment were also great.
Cons
Far too many programs rolled out each year that wasted time and productivity only to never work or accomplish anything. No time off - as an agronomist you have to expect to be busy during the growing season but it became ridiculous. I often had 30 days of PTO to use and would lose most of these days. As a member of the location management team I assisted in merit/raise decisions for hourly employees and it was shocking. These employees would receive insulting 5 or 10 cent an hour raises - the leftover merit money would go in chunks to us - the management team members. Safety program was impressive but turned in to a situation where if you broke a rule you were fired, yet if you took time to do things safely which hurt your productivity - you were probably reassigned or let go. Limited opportunity for advancement regardless of what you've heard.
