Pros

I looked into nominating Farm Journal for the Chicago Tribune’s Top Workplace Award. I was unable to do so as it requires a company to have over 100 people specifically in Chicago. I think that the company’s dedication to communication, to its core values and to employees is worthy of recognition, especially during this tough year for all. I love and appreciate my job and the company.

Cons

Could use additional team members in some areas

Farm Journal Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about our culture! Please continue to provide feedback so we can keep upping our game - it really does matter and helps the entire company.
