Pros

There is a lot of innovation and opportunity at Farm Journal. The company embraces thought out risk taking and doesn't penalize failure if a well thought out effort. People are good people here--family values and integrity .

Cons

The pace can be chaotic trying to develop maybe too many new things to counter-act the long farming recession.

Pros

The company aims to keep everyone informed on overall direction and goals, and the people are some of the best I have come across.

Cons

I really don't have many complaints. No job is perfect, but here I have seen that although hard work is expected it is also recognized.
