There are many things about AgStar that make working here special. I will tell you that I have held positions with several other companies and have never worked at a place that had such a strong culture as AgStar. What I mean by that is that I know why I’m doing the work I’m doing, who it will benefit and how, and how I should do it. I remember being at an orientation after a few months of working here and we made a list of “what we do at AgStar” and we came up with a list of products and services. Then as we nailed down what we really did a member of the executive team suggested that we make the dreams of farmers come true. I really think that that statement was true. We help farmers achieve their goals and help them protect their crops.
I love my co-workers. We all support each other and work together to achieve the goals of our team. We have great management that guide and challenge us appropriately. People here are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and provide the help necessary to create a great end product.

While the firm is comparable within the financial services industries, there are some differences as most of the clients are agribusiness. One of the similarities is the division between exempt and non-exempt staff. Also, the firm is a cooperative, so there is an emphasis placed on client appreciation. Additionally, Compeer makes an effort to stay involved in agricultural activities (fairs, charitable events, etc)
If you consider a position at Compeer, ask to have a one-on-one conversation with someone is a similar role, as different departments have different experiences within Compeer. Only someone in the same position can offer specific insights about the job, positive and negative. 


AgStar hired me fresh out of college 7 years ago without any real life financial experience. Since then, they have provided high quality training opportunities that have enabled me to grow in my career.

Now as a more seasoned employee, they continue to retain me on the team not only through fair base salaries and competetive benefits, but more importantly by the team that I get to work with on a daily basis. The respectful team member relationships at the office I work at are world class, which makes coming to work every day a true joy!

Only frustrations revolve around the continued change that occurs as the company strives to move to a higher level of standardization. This is ultimately a good thing, but it can be frustrating while the changes are being designed and implemented, and then redesignd and implemented further. The end result will be world class, but somewhat painful along the way.

Say good morning, Set up my work and desk. Always looked in my file to see what I left for the next day and finished that first then went and retrieved more work off web, I learnt a lot about loans in what information you need and what was required to get papers done. Management treat you with respect and very good to you. I loved working there. Everyone friendly, helpful, and informative too. To remember all the different types of loans. I loved the challenge of making sure I filled all the paper work correct and remembering all the different things to do on each loan.

- This by far, has been the best place to work!
- Client focused and serving the community
- Compeer has strong values
- Work is challenging and very rewarding 
- Compeer is focused on developing their team members (yearly goals, tuition reimbursement, etc.)
- Work/life balance + flexibility+ summer hours!
- Great benefits (Plenty of vacation and sick leave,  team members encouraged to volunteer and be apart of their community, generous 401(k) contributions, support for new parents returning to work after birth/adoption, multiple health insurance options)
- Communicative and transparent leadership

Great culture and mostly great leadership unless you land under a select few individuals in tech - the good are great and the bad are very bad. Work/life balance and the people are great. 

Benefits package is fantastic, but the company thinks it makes up for being 40-50k under market average and promotions are nearly impossible unless you threaten to leave.

Company maintains a facade of forced hybrid work and wont hire anybody remote, yet allows select individuals to go entirely remote and move states away.

Compeer's culture is second to none. Genuinely a people-focused organization. Executive Leadership Team has literally said we need to put our family first and to take advantage of all the time off and benefits we have available. You are NOT just a number here!

Training and development is also taken seriously. You make your own goals and your Team Leader works throughout the year to assist you. Internal and external trainings are covered, including tuition and certification reimbursements. 

Definitely a long-term home!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The culture and flexibility to have a life outside of work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Deadlines for appraisals to be completed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Inclusive, understanding, flexible and family oriented

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My tasks are self directed, generally. I look at what appraisals are needed first, then see what I have left as far as work to do on them.

Compeer is an excellent workplace, where employees are treated well. The annual conferences are always fun, if you’re able to make it. 

Although Compeer is a smaller company, it compensates for this by providing comprehensive benefits comparable to those offered by Fortune 100 companies. Notably, the company offers a 9% matching contribution to 401(k) plans, something that is not commonly found in other organizations. 

The only downside to me is there may not be opportunity for growth because of the size of the company

This is a great company to work for. I've worked for a few different companies in my career and AgStar is the best by far. They value us as employees, they value our ideas, and like to promote from within. It is also a company that gives a lot back to the community, which is important. I am proud to say that I work for them and think they do a great job in serving our clients and surrounding communities. I truly believe they are a company that puts the client and their success first.
