Pros

Good pay. The work is not bad

Cons

Long hours, If the boss don't like you they will find away to get rid of you. Sexual harassment went on around the office. Tried to show they cared about you and your family but that was far from the truth. Everyone else can do wrong and get away with it but I got wrote up every time I turned around.

Great Company, Low Profits, Moderate Growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly, collaborative culture. Sharp executives (for the most part). It's a $15 Billion agribusiness, but people only know it for Dairy Foods (butter). It also owns Purina Feed (brand is shared with Nestle who owns it for cat & dog food) as well as WinField, which is a crop inputs and seeds / precision ag consulting business.

Cons

80% of corporate profits come from WinField - that's not a bad thing, but if you think this is a consumer products company, you're wrong. It's a branded commodity company. Margins are tiny, and it's a cooperative - meaning profits aren't the goal, revenues and growth are. Collaboration is often more important than doing the smart thing. Things move very slowly - could be frustrating for those who like to be decisive and make change happen.
