Pros

Health benefits were petty decent

Cons

Manager trainee program is a joke. The managers don't actually train you and when you ask for guidance or help learning the system you get reprimanded. You are expected to do the work of multiple employees even when the farm has less than half the staff it should. The managers use fear instead of encouragement. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Worked pretty much every day.
