Cons

Touted as employee-owned, but certain people have better chance of making changes for the company as a whole than others, kind of selective, being based out of Kansas, sometimes HQ forgets about divisions out of the state of KS, and it shows

Pros

Working outdoors, Farmers are good people to work for, annual trip is nice perk. Work truck provided (although they frowned upon personal use of the truck unlike other companies) The people you work with in your division become good friends.

Cons

ESOP is not as big a deal as company makes it out to be. 6 years to become vested is an extremely long time compared to other similar companies. I would have rather invested in a 401K that was company matched. Not a lot of over site from managers. Which is good once you become established, but tough starting out. When you are placed in a new territory, it is a sink or swim mentality. They need to do a better job of mentoring. Long term employees that were here when company started always seem a little bitter or a chip on their shoulders. Pay is low for the industry. But it is a good place to get experience and then move on to another company and make $20,000 to $30,000 more like I did with a better work/life balance, better mentoring and better benefits.
