Pros

Pay and benefits are well above the local average. Nice, brand new building to work at (if you are at corp HQ)

Cons

Falling over itself to be hip, happening, and WOW to lure millennials. Forgetting the bedrock was built by farmers who worked in the dirt, milked cows at 4am, and people working in dirty, dangerous feed mills and dairy plants. Very little promotion from within. 10 years 'behind' the curve and now trying to offshore IT -- when everyone else is reversing that. A culture of 'consensus' where every decision has to be ruminated before being executed, combined with a culture of zero accountability where even people who make egregious, expensive mistakes still receive variable comp and praise.

Pros

Job security, and being able to have flexibility in the daily output

Cons

Worklife stability, next to impossible to advice in career unless wanting to move to rural America, executive leadership will constantly lie to better their roles.
