John Deere – “Great company for white males, not too ambitious.”

Pros

Good pay in low cost of living locations. Good benefits and time off policies. Access to development & training. Low work hours generally, unless working on a deadline. Good sick pay policies too.

Cons

Lack of opportunity to advance. Very conservative environment, management scared to act. Women are not respected generally and don't often advance - they leave the company instead. Company talks about diversity a lot but doesn't actually get that diversity includes diversity of opinion and methods.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees for a change. Look at managers with high turnover - something is wrong. Why are women leaving the company constantly?
