Pros

Sure - like many other corporations, they offer benefits (but have a history of reducing them after employment); market driven salary (that does not scale with positions outside of the midwest); and learning opportunities (they killed the department for talent management and global learning)

Cons

It's just another mediocre corporation, honestly. Very modest but consistent returns to shareholders for a very long time treating employees like cattle and burning anyone with tenure. In reality, I guess they have to do it -- it's a company built on a subsidy driven agricultural market. It could be worse but employee beware.

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
