Work day includes shipping and receiving samples of various chemical nature pertaining to herbicide and fungicide formulation projects and efficacy trials.  Other responsibilites include carrying out qualification studies on new sources of technical grade active ingredients which are carried out by various physical, analytical and storage stability procedures.  Time and task mangement is of great importance in the lab because of the amount of work that is assigned that must be balanced for efficient completion of all tasks.  Proper checks and calibration of equipment such as HPLC, gas chromatography and particle size analyzing equiptment must be carried out in order to maintain accurate results of reported data.  Proper lab notebook documentaion and date records are another skill highly excersised throughout a normal work day.  Overall this job is very enjoyable because of the experience gained from combining a plethora of lab skills that are used in conjunction with one another to properly carry out lab procedures and report results accuratly to senior collegues.

I'll start with the good. This list is short list.  
The pay and benefits are very good, PERIOD.

Now for the not so good.
1) The skills that I was hired for are very rarely used and because of this over the years I now have poorer skills now than when I arrived. 

2)The company has basically no structure at all which nourishes frustration constantly.

3)Management listens to employees but are just simply unable to help or change things because of just plain ineffective and under qualified leadership qualities.

4)Between the chemicals (2,4-D, Glyphosate, Monoisopropanolamine etc.) smells, disorganization, frustrations, poor management, it requires tremendous effort to continue coming here every day even with the great pay and benefits.

Employees would be  more engaged if there were more opportunities within the company for advancement. A typical day is no different than one at another site.  I have learned that if the employees respect their superiors they will work endless for the company.  However, if the employees are consistently cornered and questioned about minor unrelated company issues they will not be happy.  

Not being allowed to perfect the job that  they have successfully performed for 10+ years.Their discerning attitude will show up in their work.

My co-workers did not particularly respect or agree with management.  The majority felt that management was not equipped to do the job.  The hardest part of my job was being denied the opportunity to use my skills.  The most enjoyable part was training newbies and learning from them.

NuFarm management is disengaged and solely interested in the bottom line.  The expectation is that you work countless hours.  The non salaried employees were expected to come in on Sundays with 2 hours notice.  Last minute weekend work requests were always keep til the end of day Friday.  Never was there any respectable amount of time given.  The real disrespect was that it was then made Mandatory.  This was the norm with the expectation that the employees would show up.

Worked as an independent contractor, there were constant meetings for higher up management and food was ordered - left overs were available for employees - loved being able to eat free.
Management was bad - no clear direction for completing tasks and management was clueless at times. There was constant drama among management and employees- no sense of belonging. Some employees called it the "Nutfarm", for a reason.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company culture around safety and employee welfare is excellent. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company sometimes fell into the trap of making short term decisions (to either make up sales or save money) instead of looking at a longer term “big picture”.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent - safety and Employee welfare are top priorities.

I would enter invoices and review purchase orders. I learned how to enter invoices into Oracle, be involved a bit more with closing. I learned how to review PO's and resolve issues with quantities and converting different measurements. I enjoyed the people I worked with. The work environment was very friendly and enjoyable. The hardest part of the job was being able to get trained in other aspects of my duties.

I would not recommend working at new farm because of past experience it's where you go to HR and complain someone is harassing you and also creating a hostile environment and nothing is done You are let go from work and the person creating the hostile environment is not discovered it's not discovered till months later and then they are let go
