Pros

They are flexible to my school schedule. I have a pretty good chance to be hired on full time once I graduate.

Cons

The parking is horrible. I come to work at odd times and often can not find a place to park or have to park a long ways away.

Pros

Deere has best in class business process and people who are smart and professional. This is not some old-tractor business with a good-old-boy network. Working at Deere is an education into how business is done right. Optimal economics, highest ethical standards.

Cons

There are a lot of guys waiting to retire in the next ten years that aren't going anywhere fast. Promotion is limited if you are in your 30s and mid career. They struggle giving good jobs to high performers when an older guy feels like he earned it and has waited longer. It creates a culture where young, high performers have to wait around a lot for promotions that would come faster in a more dynamic management company.

Pros

As a part time student they offer me benefits similar to that of the full time staff. They are completely flexible with our schedules around school and the pay is well above average for college students elsewhere.

Cons

Part-time employment doesn't lead to full-time employment. The GPA requirement for accounting and engineering interns is too high. Not much recognition for work done.
