Pros

John Deere really values their employees. The pay they offer employees is equal to competitors in big citiies, but John Deere's locations' cost of living is much less than a big city. So your effectively making a lot more than you would in most other locations.

Cons

If you're looking to work in a big city you will have a hard time doing that at Deere. Many people are not excited about working in Moline, IL or Waterloo, IA and Deere loses out on top graduates because of their locations.

Pros

I am the common blue collar person at Deere's, it is a job.. I get a pay check and so far Deere's is stable and doing OK.

Cons

There isnt enough space here...The management dont give a rats about the blue collar person there, WAY to many snot nose young wage persona that dont have a clue. The pay needs to be raised to match others in the area..I work around wage people all week long and see them do some of the stupided things and waste the companies money like it is water. Wage ppl need to wake up because with out the plant workers getting dirty you have nothing, any fool can market and sell a tractor but lets see you get your nice clean cloths all greasy. Start giving us credit and you just may be very happy with the out come.

Pros

resume builder, good networking opportunities within the firm, comprehensive benefits, long term opportunities might be possible.

Cons

The cultures are, in my experience, distinct, in the various divisions of the firm. A personality well suited for one division might have more of a challenge elsewhere. So.. to climb in the organization- it might be best to choose the right division initially. My thinking: working in Moline, IL might be limiting if one wanted to leave John Deere for outside opportunities. If I were debating this great firm and good opportunity versus another great firm and another good opportunity... I might chose the one where 'my firm' is not THE firm in the city. When it is time to move on, it is nice to have other opportunities in are same locale. My role was not in Moline- I declined an opportunity to move for this reason though.
