I worked at John Deere full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Fair pay and benefits. Lots of resources available. Good training opportunities.
Cons – Management at Ankeny was the worst I have encountered. Management by intimidation. Good old boy network was alive. Lean manufacturing was just for show, would do just enough to cover the audit. I would hope management has changed since I left. Ankany was always at the bottom of the internal employee satisfaction survey.
Advice to Senior Management – Let your employees think for themselves. Most of management would should retire
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
