CHS Inc Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Compensation and benefits are pretty good Work/life balance overall good Exposure to leaders within your department They do give you some stretch projects, if you demonstrate willingness Sense of community, pride in company heritage Genuine focus on community stewardship (i.e. longstanding United Way partnership, commitment to hiring veterans, volunteering, etc.) Coworkers are overall very nice, caring people...they will ask about your weekends and go to lunch with you regularly Annual meeting is a neat event to attend, they do a good job of putting it on for employees and members

Cons

Old school culture, lack of diversity among leadership, resistance to change Some of the leaders (not the C-suite but a layer or two below) can be condescending, difficult to work with, but their behavior seems to be tolerated SAP implementation did not go well, it has been a headache to all involved Work can become repetitive, no clear career path in many cases Location - Inver Grove Heights isn't too exciting, but is convenient for many employees

Pros

Great Benefits-- Work/Life Balance - Great co-workers- CEO seemed very approachable

Cons

Final manager was super unprofessional, making negative comments about other staff and even higher management. No training given but promised.... It's a very long process to move departments or even get hired. I would say it takes about 4 months both for when I got hired and from start to finish when I tried to change positions. At times overstaff and managers I dealt with were control freaks. Certainly not practice the bottom up as they state is the lean way.

Pros

Pay, experience, management, culture, work-life balance

Cons

Cooperatives are small and located in rural towns

Pros

Your voice (no matter how small) is heard.

Cons

Prioritizing work and work/life balance.

Pros

Good health benefits that is about it until they cut them to a different provider to save money

Cons

Have to look at reviews outside the corporate office, work life balance sucks hardly can use vacation time. Running lean all the time, no such thing as having new equipment to do your job with. Promise things that will never happen and lied to a lot

Pros

Great work/life balance. Infrequent micro-management. The company wants results and, as long as they get them, you're left alone to do your job.

Cons

Variable pay/bonuses are not as advertised. The company did not make budget this year but still made a trainload of money. They're not paying bonuses. It's supposedly the 6th or 7th best year in company history, but no variable comp. If you're thinking about coming here do not let them put more than 10% of your comp on the bonus system in the negotiations. They'll try to sell you on how great and fair the bonus program is. Get everything you can in the salary because they're not fair with variable comp. A lot of long-term employees are taking a major pay cut this year for no good reason.
