Pros

AgFirst is a great place to get industry experience and a feel for a corporate environment. The regular staff and worker bees are some of the best people I know and run the company. Some of my best memories are those I made with co-workers. The pay is fair (you can de better elsewhere) and the yearly bonuses are a +. There are good benefits (health, 401k, etc.). The bank makes a lot of money for its customers and shareholders and some (think .001%) of that revenue is given to the employees. This is a good company to learn the ropes on and the bank embraces a lot of new industry technology, but don't think you are going to move up and make a difference.

Cons

The management...all of it. The C-level execs, VPs, and senior managers are all stuck in an old way of thinking. There is no room for growth and the hours are long. There is way too much work and mgmt does not care. If you enjoy working 60+ hours a week, multitasking over 20 projects at a time, and being old to hurry up you are too slow...AgFirst is for you. Take a hard look at the positive reviews and you will see most are from interns and those that have been at the bank less than a year. Anyone with more than 2 years at AgFirst will tell you to run away. Most of the people I joined with are gone and were replaced with contractors before I left.

Pros

I truly love working for the “new” AgFirst. Since the arrival of our new CEO and the new executive leaders (COO, CFO, and CHRO), there has been a noticeable and inspiring shift in energy across the organization. Leadership feels more engaged, forward-thinking, and aligned with the mission. Our refreshed core values are not just words, they’ve genuinely reshaped how we collaborate, make decisions, and support one another. I feel more connected to the mission than ever before, and it shows up in the enthusiasm and commitment of my coworkers. There’s a strong sense of momentum and positivity that makes AgFirst stand out as a great place to work.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is that I wish some of these positive changes had happened sooner so we could have built on this momentum even earlier.

Pros

Pay is good, insurance is great, and the rank and file are hard working good people.

Cons

If you hang out or even know hiring managers then you don’t even have to be qualified for a role and still get the job. Some even say the quiet part out loud. During my time at AgFirst it occurred so much that it became a way of life, especially in the last year or less. People even get rewarded for throwing others under the bus to advance themselves and those that work hard get brushed to the side and stepped on. It cannot be denied. Just look around. Also, why is it okay to discuss other people’s business with people that do not have a right to know. It is disgusting.
