I have been working at Land O'Lakes full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good pay and benefits, hourly employees are a good group of people
Cons
Management rotates through the office with great regularity as this is a stepping stone to bigger and better things for them. That being said, the rules all change everytime someone new comes in and wants to run things their way compared to the ways that have been effective. Lots of unneeded paperwork that are created because someone needed to do something to prove their job was needed. There is a noticeable gap between hourly and management, the only reason many of management know you is because your name is on your shirt or you have a very big mouth. High turnover rate. Only plant that is not union so we have our own rules and benefits compared to everyone else.
Advice to Management
Finally find people who will stay around and actually do something to improve the plant, not just their career.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Land O'Lakes.
Interview
There were 4 interviews with various management and human resource. It was dragged on and interviewers were late or postponed their appointment with you. Had to fill out my application online two times because of a software issue and was making things difficult. This was what I thought to be a great career but I was greatly disappointing.
Interview Questions
Negotiation
I did my homework about my wages thanks to this and other sites similar. I was told they would match that wage based on additional yearly bonuses but these bonuses never happened. Unknown to me my job title was changed so I was kept from advancing to higher pay after creating this new title corporate red flags went away!
