      Unrestrained nepotism and increased outsourcing keep the company from being what it should be.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are generally good; some good, knowledgeable people at the company

      Cons

      Poor performance is rewarded to avoid having to fire employees who are just along for the ride. The company operates more as an oligarchy, with some managers having their own "kingdoms" where cronyism happens often. Poor quality outsourcing is increasingly more common in the company and makes many processes and functions difficult and poorly run.

      Extremely dysfunctional

      Pros

      They had free coffee, tea and other beverages. Parking was free in a covered ramp. Benefits were very good.

      Cons

      Poor systems, could not find data to do my job, no direction, staggering amounts of time wasted just trying to get simple information - had to use one-off Excel spreadsheets with questionable data and sourcing just to pull anything together. There was constant confusion about basic data (i.e. sales $, sales units), let alone anything more complicated. No standard procedures, processes, organization, etc. (I was left waiting for an hour - twice - during my on-site interview. I should have left then.) Office environment was extremely noisy. Titles are also very confusing - everyone seems to be a "Head" of something. Very few women in leadership positions. Run, don't walk!

      Aimless and on constant defense of their poor corn seed and diminished fungicide portfolio

      Pros

      The brand name and the benefits are really good. The products are good as well. Other than that, it's not a rosy picture.

      Cons

      The company is shedding employees like dogs shed hair. Long-term employees are being replaced by young-un's, literally just out of college, who have no clue how business works or how to talk to customers.
