1) They try to be professional but very political environment. If you try to tell them that things are not right they will turn against you. I have seen people leaving jobs and they don't care about it.
2) Everyone is a relative to someone, all jobs are taken by the families and to be successful you should have father or mother retired. They take pride in generations working for them.
3) Management has been the weakest part, the managers try to do good but because of incompetency of their previous manager (relative), they're more occupied fixing their problems , who in my opinion must have moved up the ladder to another better position.
4) They talk about diversity, integrity, innovation and improvement as part of their vision but the ratio in the management of diversity was zero, out of 400 salaried employees only few were from minority groups, so there is no integrity following with no improvement or innovation.
5) Gossips, makeup and talking about others is important to be successful here, or talking about travelling or making friends. The networking becomes important because of having less training, knowledge and relying on each other to get the job done. It is like everyone is asking help from others.
6) The management is always in meetings, no time to actually solve a problem because there is another meeting waiting for you in 15 minutes. And, it is more talking and laughing than actually solving the issue because they put blame on someone who has already left or moved, it is so easy for them.. it is terrible.
7) There is lot of ego out there, they actually did nothing but born in a family that has someone in Deere. And, they have attitudes because they never worked hard to get a degree or struggled in life. Some who worked hard are really down to earth and nice but mostly are unprofessional.
