Pros

Competitive Salary/Benefits package. That's about it. DO NOT STAY IN IT FOR THE BENEFITS/MONEY.

Cons

There are very few women or minorities at the company. I only came across 1 who was both in my time there. Any woman you do come across is at the admin level. Average employee is a white baby boomer male. They are the least innovative company I've ever worked for but are under the delusion that they are cutting edge. Worst of all is probably the HR department's inability to remain a bipartisan mediator. The only thing coming out of that department was sarcasm and pointed fingers.

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience. An important point you mentioned was around diversity. At Land O’Lakes, we take pride in being a high-performing organization built on the foundation of a diverse and inclusive workforce. We believe individuals and teams should represent a wide range of talents, experiences and perspectives. From our Corporate Equality Index score, to our on campus Employee Resource Groups and co-sponsorship of the largest diversity and inclusion conference in the county, we invite you to see how our culture has and continues to transform: bit.ly/1KvwYNz

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.
