Pros

Large, stable company, good benefits (not the best, but above average), good spectrum of products. Upper management is good. Average to good training programs that have improved over the years. Good place to start a career, not finish.

Cons

Oppressive mid management in the ag sector. Lots of corporate bullying in ag sector. Regularly runs off workers over 55 by closing good territorys for "business reasons" which makes it harder to file discrimination suits. Lots of "lip service" on important issues that drag the company down. Micro manageing limits free thinkers and creativity. They are happy with being average and not the best in a competitive market place.

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
