      I have been working at Land O'Lakes full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      My favorite things about this company are the people (down-to-earth, genuine, and hardworking) and the purpose. Feeding the world in innovative ways is an exciting journey to be a part of. There are huge growth opportunities here if you take advantage of them. The company also pays well and genuinely cares about employees. Work-life balance is a big deal to me and I feel like I have it working here.

      Cons

      Honestly can't think of any that stand out - this is a special place, especially compared to other comparable organizations.

      Advice to Management

      Keep listening to employees and driving the success that you have been.

      Pros

      Excellent work/life balance, the best benefits available, a recognizable brand, and amazing co-workers.

      Cons

      Internal hiccups caused issues for customers that made it difficult for us to answer, and lack of advancement opportunities.

      Advice to Management

      While this position is probably one of the lowest on the totem poles, we do have really good ideas of ways to fix some internal issues. Ask us!
