      Great company for white males, not too ambitious.

      Pros

      Good pay in low cost of living locations. Good benefits and time off policies. Access to development & training. Low work hours generally, unless working on a deadline. Good sick pay policies too.

      Cons

      Lack of opportunity to advance. Very conservative environment, management scared to act. Women are not respected generally and don't often advance - they leave the company instead. Company talks about diversity a lot but doesn't actually get that diversity includes diversity of opinion and methods.

      Not the place for anyone with imagination.

      Pros

      The building is located convenient to the beltline. There is a decent discount on JD product and good financing available.

      Cons

      Middle management is often incompetent and lets their personal friendships make their decisions for them. It's a highly political place to work with a lot of interdepartmental battling for turf. It's ugly if you have to work with people in other departments and hope to accomplish anything.

      Pros

      John Deere really values their employees. The pay they offer employees is equal to competitors in big citiies, but John Deere's locations' cost of living is much less than a big city. So your effectively making a lot more than you would in most other locations.

      Cons

      If you're looking to work in a big city you will have a hard time doing that at Deere. Many people are not excited about working in Moline, IL or Waterloo, IA and Deere loses out on top graduates because of their locations.
