Land O'Lakes reviews

There's not much by way of succession planning for career advancement. Standard processes are not shared across departments (if they exist at all), which can lead to misunderstandings and friction between departments. Management is very risk-averse, which can be good in that Land O'Lakes doesn't often bite off more than they can chew, but can be challenging when they aren't willing to take steps toward improvement of their facilities or portfolio when others in the industry are moving faster.

Although they claim to be EEOC compliant, there is always someone in line for the advancement when internal employees apply for positions. They do not have succession planning and very little to advance current staff and prefer to recruit from Target, Pillsbury, General Mills and other corporate giants rather than remaining true to the whole premise it was built upon. HR representatives are focused on their relationship with the business partners, and put the employee needs at the bottom of the list. This causes a huge lack of trust in the system as evidenced by the employee engagement surveys.
