Don’t waste your time

Lab technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Money, Mostly friendly coworkers

Cons

Extremely strict attendance policy designed for you to fail. New employees get 3 points in their first 90 days which doesn’t sound bad, but you get a point for not calling at least one hour ahead of time on top of another point for calling out or being late. It’s ridiculous. You can’t go outside to your car on your breaks, and you work 12 HOURS and they expect you to stay after more times than not up to 15 hours. No room for advancements. You can stay at a position for Years. YEARS before you can move up.

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee Resource Groups Employee Appreciation Leadership listens via internal surveys that result in action Beth Ford is, without a doubt, the best CEO out there. Her messaging is 100% on-point.

Cons

Greed? During the pandemic, Land O'Lakes increased prices on its butter dramatically because they were one of the only butter producers in the country that kept production up to stock grocery stores. It was entirely unnecessary. It doubled their net income in a single year, but at what cost to society?
