A place where talent and hopes come to die . - Anonymous employee myAgro Employee Review

First, we would like to say that we are disappointed that your experience at myAgro was not what you expected. Our hopes are that any team member joining myAgro has an incredible experience, grows and develops personally, as well professionally, and ultimately has an opportunity to contribute to our mission of serving farmers. At the risk of sounding defensive:-), I do believe your assessment of myAgro is not accurate. As someone that consistently receives feedback, both good and bad, from team members at all levels, what I hear is that myAgro is a good place to work, grow, and make an impact in the world. That’s not to say that we are perfect. We have many areas where we can improve and we work on them continuously. The Leadership team of any company is required to insert themselves into the business when needed. Course correction in a scaling organization that works in Sales and Agriculture is necessary. Those decisions are not done in isolation, as many people are involved before any decision is rolled out. But the fact is, all 500+ team members can not contribute to every decision the organization makes. We do our best to include the right people and listen. We also recognize a need to communicate the context behind decisions to all levels more often and do more after-action-reviews (a practice at myAgro) to better understand what went well and what needs improvement. Every season we learn how to better support and invest in our field team. To share a few of the actions / positives: - Commission plans for the field team continue grow year over year - Professional development: VEs and sales teams are trained on new technology, on sales techniques (by professional Sales Trainers), on work planning, agricultural practices and customer service - Village Entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to earn more money via their entrepreneurial activities with myAgro than they could on their own - Village Entrepreneurs are recognized in their communities as leaders for the work they do with myAgro and the farmers from their villages - myAgro provides VEs with phones and other tools needed for their roles I invite you to see a few stories from our VEs on this page celebrating our 10 year anniversary. https://www.myagro10.org/ myAgro values all of it’s team members and places a lot of importance on equality within the organization. Our salaries and benefits apply to the role regardless of where you are from. We rolled out a new Performance Management toolkit to provide more clarity on Job Groups within myAgro, and we have engaged a consultant to work with us to create more transparency and clarity on our salary grids, benefits, and promotion opportunities (to be rolled out in the summer of 2022). myAgro is a growing and learning organization. Our goal of 1 million farmers is real, not aspirational. The organization and our teams continue to evolve and develop at a rapid pace, and we will continue to make mistakes and learn from them. That’s part of the enjoyment of working at myAgro, in my opinion. Lastly, I wanted to say that we are disappointed that you did not walk away from myAgro with a positive experience. If you would like to provide additional feedback, please feel free to reach out to me and I would appreciate the opportunity to hear from you. Shon Morris Chief of People Operations
