Pros

Flexible work-life balance if you manage your time well. Some really great people on the teams. Lots of opportunities to make improvements across the board if you're driven.

Cons

Leadership seems to have drama and is all talk and no action, leading to really great employees leaving.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review! We are so glad that you are seeing all the positive changes in the way we operate. We also appreciate the comment about some unsteadiness. Rapid change can indeed cause some fatigue, and we will continue to encourage frequent communication, based on transparency, to address it.

Pros

Farm Journal has amazing people dedicated to agriculture, providing some of the best content to producers. Though understaffed, they continue to show dedication to their responsibilities.

Cons

The executive team lacks any ag background & as a result, often appear unknowledgeable or uninformed, and can become defensive when questioned, which has led to some poor business decisions, hurting the company's culture & business health.
