      Pros

      You can do nothing and as long as you are part of the Ag inner circle you will be protected.

      Cons

      Talk about diversity and inclusion but it is not true. Old Caucasian men rule the roost. They put on a good show on LinkedIn but dig deep and you will find the truth.

      Easy Job Low Pay

      Pros

      The company is very nice. They focus heavily on keeping employees safe. There was room to grow and advance my career. The jobs are mostly pretty relaxed. In the office areas they had flexible hours where you could basically choose your schedule. Management was mostly very nice and personable. Most everyone was very nice.

      Cons

      The benefits are terrible. It was 350$ for insurance for me and my family, and even then the co-pays and deductibles made the insurance basically unusable. The tuition reimbursement is kind of a joke, although, it's similar to what most companies offer. The pay was abysmal. They pay as little as they can get away with, and raises were only 2.5% a year--never more. They're extremely anti-union and they rely heavily on contract workers, who have a lot of difficulty becoming full-time employees.
