Pros

Good experience and valuable skills to add to your resume. Great people to work with and there are learning opportunities if you have the willingness to spend time helping in other departments.

Cons

The compensation doesn’t match the work and expectations. More money goes to automation than the employees. No sick hours or compensation is provided when we are unable to work at no fault of our own and PTO accrual is really low.

Great team culture (depending on your team) and mission-focused ag work. Awesome opportunities for growth, learning, and some of the best managers I've ever had.

Leadership not very transparent with company direction.

Pros

Hands-on field experience: You got direct exposure to soil sampling methods, GPS mapping, and field logistics — skills that translate well into crop consulting. • Understanding of operational flow: Learned how sampling schedules, lab coordination, and mapping systems fit into larger agronomy programs. • Time management & endurance: Long days, repetitive work, and varying field conditions built your work ethic and endurance. • Technical familiarity: Even if their system was poor, you gained familiarity with soil probes, 4-wheeler/ATV setups, and sample organization. • Clarified what you don’t want in a workplace: Probably the biggest plus — it showed you how poor management, disorganization, or lack of leadership affects field work, which helps you define better standards for your own consulting business.

Cons

Poor leadership & communication: Management likely didn’t provide clear direction, support, or organization. • Disorganized scheduling: Jobs often rushed, routes inefficient, or workload inconsistent day-to-day. • Low pay for workload: Typical for many soil sampling companies — long hours, short pay, and little recognition. • Poor equipment maintenance: Vehicles, GPS units, or samplers often in bad shape, slowing you down. • No real career development: Probably little to no pathway to advance or learn beyond basic field labor. • Toxic or careless environment: If coworkers or management had bad attitudes or poor work habits, that creates burnout fast. • Lack of value in employee input: You might’ve seen smarter or more efficient ways to do things, but leadership didn’t care to listen.
