Great place to work!

Pros

Wilbur-Ellis is a great place to work! Many employees have been with the company for over 25+ years, that says a lot! Wilbur-Ellis is family owned for over 97 years. Rich history in many agricultural communities throughout the United States. Terrific culture and many opportunities for an employee if you want to grow and learn. I am proud to work for a company that believes and values in their employees and wants to keep them engaged!

Cons

Anything I would have thought was a con prior has been addressed since I have joined the organization.

Pros

Some really great people to work with. Customers are great.

Cons

Unclear strategy poorly executed. Poor leadership that doesn’t understand the importance of building relationships with customers, employees and suppliers. Losing market share multiple years running. Cutting employee's year after year leading to extremely poor morale and a group of employees going through the motions. There is no “ownership” among the employees.
