Landus

Good locations have good people and managers as well as good customer bases. Things go well if those involved can keep things moving on their own without reaching out to management. If the employees don’t want to go far above and beyond then the location is typically not what you would hope for. Managers believe employees are numbers in the system and if they disagree in anyway then they get demoted or let go for voicing their opinions. The CEO has no regard for employee needs or wants and only thinks about the bottom line, even if it means taking from benefits and letting profitable people go to make one year look good. Honestly it’s like a slowly sinking ship that’s been sinking for three years. 

A typical day at work depends on the season, it can go from hardly doing anything one minute to everything happening all at once.  I have learned a lot about the world of agronomy and agriculture, and am still learning.  It's a pretty 'laid back' work environment, everybody gets along and communicates with each other well.  It's never a problem to take time off for various activities (dr.appointments, school activities, etc, etc).

The pay and benefits are very good for rural Iowa. 
Landus is growing with the future of ag. With great ideas. The frustrating part is policies and programs implemented are not discussed with the employees doing the work to make for a better experience as an employee. "Speed and agility"  Ha! How can that happen if upper management doesn't even listen to employees wants and needs.  You can't train employees something new if they are already doing the work of three.   Train in the locations not an online meeting. You'll have a better understanding about the "boots on the ground "

What is the best part of working at the company?
Family oriented business. Excellent benefits and training. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A lot of overtime come harvest season. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very focused to detail and family oriented with other  Landus employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyone knows what they are doing the night before ; vacuum out grain bins, load semis or trains with grain.

I never knew how farmers got paid to farm now I understand. I call farmers and I asked them to put an offer contracts so when the markets hit the numbers that they want they get it usually the higher numbers hit overnight so that’s awesome.  

Landus is a great company to work for. They offer exceptional benefits. The location I work in offers an awesome 12 hour shift.  This allows you 182 days a year off and this is not even including your PTO. It is awesome to go to work and do something that truly has such a global impact. If your looking for a change Landus is the place for you!

I do most of the bad jobs,I help with seed,dump trucks,load trims,help with rail cars, and travel around 9 locations and welling some long hours in when it's needed, clean silos of grain out

The local location staff were great to work with. Locations are usually understaffed. Upper management was always making ridiculous changes.  A lot of turnover when I worked there. Overall, would stay clear of this company.

Great people and great internship program. You get out of it what you put into it. Got to fly down to Florida with CEO and exeuctive team all expenses paid.

Too much corporate culture, and not enough hourly employees. They use and abuse their employees, overworking them for little pay. Worked for Farmers Coop, before they joined West Central to become Landus.
