John Deere – “Deere is great for entry-level”
Pros
Stable company that has been around since 1850's. If you got in before 2001, your benefits and pay are great as you receive not only a company pension, but additions to your 401k and bonus is greater than newer employees.
Cons
The corporate culture has changed tremendously since going public in the 80's. New employees after 2001 no longer receive the benefits 70% of the salaried force have.
