Pros

The products are high quality and the brand is well loved. The fact that the company is a cooperative makes you feel like the work you do supports farmers. The on boarding and training was very good and Land O'Lakes and the updates to the corporate office were great.

Cons

The corporate office is extremely political (at least in Dairy Foods). It's turning into a smaller version of General Mills. It's a risk adverse culture that stifles innovation.
