Pros

The people are pretty great. Not any of management, but the other operators and maintenance hands (the ones the plant manager hasn’t laid off) are about all this place has left. This used to be a great site to work at, even during the hard times it was still a great place to be.

Cons

Current plant manager hates operators, tries to make employees lives miserable. Cuts the yearly bonus to ensure he receives his. Cuts all overtime. Demoralizes operators daily. Lays off maintenance and puts even more work on operators. All of the cons would be fixed if the current plant manager(C.E.) was to leave. The quality of work life is absolutely squashed by the plant manager who does not care for operators and maintenance, yet these are the people that keep this place running.

Pros

great benefits, slightly above average pay, work life balance

Cons

Golden harvest, syngenta flagship seed brand, is continually dumping good money after bad into the GHX brand. GHX is ridiculous attempt to get into the seed market by selling at acre pricing. There is no real reason to be a part of GHX as a customer, except that leadership is mandating it. All sales in GHX are simply converted Golden Harvest business and the company has not grown since 2020, the year they started GHX. The reason why this is important is because the company is going broke funding a useless business model and instead of cutting their losses, they are doubling down at the expense of their existing long term customers. This disaster will culminate in unstable business and leadership decisions and eventual layoffs. I would not go to work for Golden Harvest, but i definitely would go to work for Syngenta
