Pros

great benefits in full time employment. Nice profit sharing plenty of pto

Cons

Busy and understaffed during the busiest times. You get plenty of pto, just can't use it. Planting and harvest time your putting your life on hold, if your at a busy plant your busy from March to middle of July or later, you are working weeks of 70-100+ hrs In a row if the weather stays good, it's the same with fall your 70-100 hr weeks until the ground freezes . Oh you wanted a night with family, too bad, customer called you gotta get this field done tonight. Sales reps are muck stirring people that enjoy the drama they cause. Trucks are sketchy at best, shut up and drive it is heard quite often. Saftey is talked about and how serious they are about it until they find out how much it cost or interferes with anything then it's ignored. You got a doctor's appointment, hopefully it's not during busy season or they force you to cancel it, make it during the slow season, again they will have a fit and force you to cancel it. Dont expect to get promoted, job openings at your location are but word of mouth and only to selected few. The CSA score is extremely high and they really do nothing about it other then talk about lowering it.

Pros

Collaborative but individual work too. A lot of traveling to different sites

Cons

Individual work requires being open minded and doing own research or experimentation

Pros

For the area, the pay is decent.

Cons

Management that does not care about the people. No flexibility in working anywhere other than the plant. Outsiders hired before qualified employees. Another merger/selling on the horizon - memo sent out to employees and then they were told it would not happen in 2026. Big changes happen every year such as benefits reduced, people being moved from one position to the other, employees getting fired after one small mistake instead of a warning as it used to be, corporate people leaving/getting fired.
