Pros

- Reputation - If farming is in your blood - They invest a lot into you as an Intern with training but don't expect anything from you (can be good and bad).

Cons

- Location...albeit you can lead quite a comfortable life - Management style - It is easy to just get caught in the grind and loose your self - Vacation allowance and health benefits not great

Pros

Leadership seems to have solid long-term planning. It also seems very conservative in planning for dealing with the economic realities that everyone else is just now starting to come to grips with.

Cons

John Deere corporate culture is focused on manufacturing and is struggling to enter the information age. The culture is rooted in a factory floor mentality that translates poorly to innovation...and innovation is a huge issue for any company looking to expand and keep up with competition. Benefits wise the switch to a high-deductible medical insurance (HSA) has been a shock to my expectations of a company that takes care of its employees.
