Productive and fun work place with child care on site
Office Administrator Temp (Former Employee), Creve Coeur, MO –
Pros: good days off with compensation
Cons: hard to become a perm employee
A day at Monsanto typically starts with contacting a lot of companies who you gain a relationship with on a day to day basis. The good thing is that you have the same contact people on a regular. I learned the ends and outs of the company on the import/export side. The management is typically laid back and approachable. They are hard working people – more...  who expect nothing less than that in return from their employees. There was no hard part. The enjoyable part of the job was working with friendly people that felt like family. – less

A good fit for my agricultural background.
Seed Technician 3 (Current Employee), KÄ«hei, HI –
At Monsanto I was able to employ many of the skills I brought from my business. I received recognition for mastery of 16 skill sets and was working on 6 more, that would have put me in position for a Tech 4.

High energy, culture devoted to growth in farming
Executive Assistant Global Commercial (Former Employee), Creve Couer –
Pros: opportunity to learn in a professional environment, the unique human qualities developed within a team
Cons: economic reality affecting bottom line, jobs and the team
Depending on the season you started early or stayed late
No such thing as a "routine" day, work hard-play hard with demonstrated gratitude for a job well done.

Belonging to an international organization is a life changing experience with team-mates you commicate with through changing technology and high level secuirty.

Co-workers that are ethical, – more...  trustworthy, sincere, hard working and willing to laugh. Matrix level collaboration, quality continuing education and friends that last beyond the project.

Maintaining work life balance is a challege in any environment, add security and the schedules of executives in a changing economy it becomes a unique challenge.

Meeting the farmers and customers that were served by the organization, seeing new products and earning the respect of colleagues. – less

Great work environment and people there are easy to work with
Co-Supervisor (3years) and Summer Pollinator (Current Employee), Stanton, MN –
Lead and manage crews of 10 to 15 people. Learned how to be a team leader and take responsibility for things in the work place. My co-workers were fun to work with and that only made going to work easy and enjoyable. The hardest part of the job was to have to do quality control and maintain consist work results.

Not a good place to work.
hourly worker (Former Employee), Farmer City, IL –
Pros: it is better than having no job at all.
Cons: average person working there receives no respect.
Company's focus is on making money. If site produces well, the site manager has complete control over everything. There is no oversight, even if the company has knowledge of his actions and behavior. There have been serious abuses but nothing will be done because money is made.
