Pros

More stable industry then others, most employees staying long-term. One product line benefits the other usually both don't go down at the same time (Agriculture and Construction)

Cons

Slow to respond or change according to market, very difficult to move internally without having a strong sponsor or knowing someone. Much lower pay compared to other industries/companies while asking for performance at or above those companies.

Pros

Fun work, interesting problems to solve, good people in the office. Good 401k match.

Cons

Deere corporate doesn't care about it's employees. No promotions, tiny raises. No equity. Bad health insurance. Some people get promoted but only if you are good at kissing a** it seems.
