Damage control reviews being left for FPI

Pros

If you take all the good things from real reviews, and truly live by them and do a some enhancing to culture/WLB/benefits...you will have Pros listed.

Cons

The review posted on 01/31/2018 titled "great place to work, family atmosphere" was left by the CEO as a way of "damage control" in response to the multitude of bad reviews from real employees. Take a look at the wording of that review and compare it to his responses to other reviews for FPI. This "review" is misleading. The culture WAS fun and loose; however, the new environment is one of fear and blame. All of the "brightest technical people" have left the company because it is not somewhere we want to work. FPI doesn't ask people to punch a clock - true. What company does? That being said, the new CIO started demanding that people on a certain project work nights, weekends, and holidays. How is this an "excellent" work/life balance? Yes, IT team members should except the occasional weekend or night work due to an issue or some kind of scheduled work; however, when those hours are being forced on employees via bullying and threats of being fired, then it isn't promoting work/life balance or a "great place to work". If people are FPI's most important asset, then why when presented with complaints and exit interview/email contents, did the CEO respond with a statement of "I don't care"? If people are the greatest asset, then why are so many people leaving because they are being treated poorly and because the company seems unstable to work for?

Pros

FPI invests in employee development through an extensive in-house training program. Senior management is approachable and operates with integrity. Very nice working environment. Reasonably priced health benefits.

Cons

As the company grows and continues to enhance many of its processes, employees need to be receptive to ongoing changes.

Pros

FPI is a great place to work. We are experiencing atmospheric growth while remaining true to our mission; to be the best technology partner to the Farm Credit System. The culture is fun and loose while the company employs some of the best and brightest technical and administrative people. The work / life balance is excellent. FPI doesn't ask people to punch a clock. If you're in IT you must be prepared for overtime and weekend work as necessary for releases and essential technology functions. Such is the nature of the business. The company works hard to promote from within which happens often. This provides a 'sky is the limit' mindset.

Cons

Any fundamental and leadership changes which occur in a medium sized business will result in growing pains. I truly believe the people are FPI's most important asset.

Appreciate the feedback. Your comments are spot-on about changes, especially in a mid sized company. We move fast, sometimes faster than some folks are ready, but we love where we are today. FPI as the leader in Farm Credit technology, with all the right momentum. Thanks, Howard Bruck CEO
