Farmers Business Network, Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Catered lunch used to be good. Not much else


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unrealistic sales goals.  All of the work is being done so a few executives can make a lot of money.  The turnover on the low end Is high.  I guess that's just normal though.  There is zero back end support for anything sold either


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a sales culture.  Life is about earning commissions 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get on the phone.  Don't quit talking until the end of the day

FBN is a great place to work.  Good people trying to help out the Farmers that help feed the world.  They've got amazing people in place at all levels of the company.  

FBN is still in "start-up" mode so it's definitely stressful.  There is a lot going on and many people within the company are still learning exactly what to do.  There are still lots of changes taking place but the company is growing at an unbelievable rate.  

Make sure you have thick skin walking into this company.  Expectations are high and you need to bring your big kid pants.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working remotely and controlling your own schedule to a degree.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No structure created a lot of stress.  Plus, leadership didn’t value your feedback.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, fast paced, ever changing

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meeting most of the day with no time to work on what was important.  Always working overtime to keep up.

Farmers Business Network is a start up company with multiple investors and several levels of management.   The concept of the company for the Ag industry is exciting but the management lacks in knowledge of the industry.   The goals/quotas change from month to month and they are usually unobtainable to reach.   The product and service profile changes drastically from month to month as well leaving customers frustrated and somewhat confused of what the company actually offers.   They have an extremely high employee turnover rate and lacked communications with employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing! Managed is very bad they don't know anything about the business. If you are not in the boys club you are not included in anything. You will be ignored if you know too much. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You get to meet some friendly farmers. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good you are on guard all the time. Need to keep looking over your shoulder. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sitting waiting for a order so you can get out on the road. No business. Can't believe they are still there.

The mission of this company does not seem to align with what is actually happening inside the company. Very poor communication across management levels and a culture of treating every employee as disposable. 
Very poor sense of belonging for employees.

Great outside sales job. Working with farmers and a lot of flexibility in scheduling. However, when management gets a metric goal in their head they hound the sales team about it. Even when it is unreasonable and there isn't much data to back up creating the goal. Normal commission goals are always stretch but you get paid well when you hit them.

I have been with the company for more than a year now in the Inputs Distribution side. The company vision has remained consistent throughout. We have a lot of support all the way to the top of the company. Our culture is outstanding overall. It is also a great service we are doing to help family farmers thrive. Awesome Company!

I learned a lot about the Hazmat classifications of the product and how to operate several systems to find the best product for customer. Also working close with several different transport companies and tracking organizations.

Founder/CEO did a great job inspiring individuals/teams around mission and purpose. Though many people here are quite selfish and won't stick up for your development and/or follow through on their word. Was able to enjoy working on solving various problems here with minimal oversight. Challenging yet potentially rewarding future prospect.
