New CEO, Lack of Change Mangement Causing Chaos

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.

Pros

-Hard working co-workers -Good benefits -Family like environment -Great learning opportunities

Cons

-Most people are underpaid/undervalued -HR can be hit or miss -Old and very manual systems -Upper mgmt says they care... but they don't -Not very much diversity in the work place -Budget is always somehow maxed out so new systems being implemented is unlikely -Quality of work is less important than how long you've worked here
