Pros

Farm credit system is an overall good organization to work for good benefits, good customers to work with It used to be a great place to work, lots of things have changed in the past 2 1/2 years.

Cons

Overworked employees - not enough employees for all the work, employees are excepted to work whatever hours it takes to get the work done. Some project deadlines are not realistic, quality of work is low because of bad management decisions. Signing checks that should be written. Members of the management staff - none to little experience managing others, not qualified to manage others, intimidation and bullying is used by some of the managers due to lack of confidence within their own self as well as lack of knowledge of some of the responsibilities that their staff may have to perform to get their jobs done. A lot of the employees have more experience and knowledge then the individual managing them, making it difficult for some relationships between manager and employee, making the manager insecure about their own position and knowledge. Turn over this year within the company is the highest ever I have ever seen it to be. From January 2013 to November 2013 there has been 10 individuals leave but as of December 2013 there will be at least 2 more individuals leaving the company, some were long term employees. Some of the reasons for the turn over is due to managers behavior to employee, high demands at work lack of family time, better opportunities better paying job, Also the fear of the company not existing within the next few years due to mergers by their customer base.

Pros

We and I have talked to others are disappointed in the announcement yesterday of David’s successor. He had his chance with AgVantis a while back and walked away because he did not get his way and in the process recruited other AgVantis employees to leave and join him and was successful in one case. This says a lot about his character and integrity. And he said yesterday how important accountability is with him. He showed none. And then he is hired back and in this critical position. Shame on the board of directors for not thinking about the possible negativeness that could come with this selection.

Cons

To this day there are still some who truly believe they are still entitled to things.
