Land O'Lakes succeeds in spite of itself

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Household name and Fortune 250 company. Some pockets of excellence scattered among largely mediocre organization. Pretty competitive salaries. Decent corporate offices and resources. Cooperative business model; company owned by dairy farmer and co-op members.

Cons

Disappointing senior leadership -- very top-down leadership style; don't trust employees. Organization very resistant to change. Much less employee friendly than it once was. None of the company's businesses can forecast well -- year-end numbers always a guessing game. Most departments staffed poorly, very thin. Company has quietly laid off a considerable amount of employees in past year.
