Pros

A great company that is dedicated to serving agriculture with a CEO and management team that are truly visionary and innovative.

Cons

Media consumption is changing, not just in agriculture but across B2B markets. Farm Journal is adapting to the evolving market which means change can be a constant. This may not be an environment for everyone but if you can embrace change there is tremondous opportunity for those who can.

Pros

-ability to work remote sometimes? Otherwise none.

Cons

New boss (after two months) verbatim told me she didnt know if I was "worth taking the time to get experience", fired me due to inexperience and then brought on someone from her old job. That's how much they value people. AKA, they do not. At all. HR peppers happy reviews on here, I honestly believe the rating is closer to the 1-2 range for actual employees. People are tired and overworked and DEEPLY UNDER VALUED ACROSS THE BOARD.

Pros

The collection of workers in the company is superb. So people truly care about thier job and this industry.

Cons

Management doesn't listen. They don't promote internally, especially when they should. They lose millions because of this.
