Pros

After spending several years with larger, mostly impersonal financial institutions, I accepted a contract position with AgFirst Farm Credit Bank – and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Every day I get to work with – and learn from – creative and talented individuals who are always willing to share their knowledge and expertise. AgFirst’s mission – to provide funding and support services to America’s farmers and rural communities – is critically important and, from a communications perspective, extremely interesting. AgFirst’s excellent work culture, hybrid work schedule, supportive management and generous benefits made accepting a full-time position a no-brainer when the opportunity presented itself. And I’ve since learned that AgFirst not only values but also invests in its full-time employees, providing educational and training opportunities that encourages and empowers them to continue their professional development. An excellent company.

Cons

The conversion from contractor to full-time employee was a little rocky but they’re actively working on improving the process.

Pros

I truly love working for the “new” AgFirst. Since the arrival of our new CEO and the new executive leaders (COO, CFO, and CHRO), there has been a noticeable and inspiring shift in energy across the organization. Leadership feels more engaged, forward-thinking, and aligned with the mission. Our refreshed core values are not just words, they’ve genuinely reshaped how we collaborate, make decisions, and support one another. I feel more connected to the mission than ever before, and it shows up in the enthusiasm and commitment of my coworkers. There’s a strong sense of momentum and positivity that makes AgFirst stand out as a great place to work.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is that I wish some of these positive changes had happened sooner so we could have built on this momentum even earlier.

Pros

Great co-workers make it tolerable

Cons

They recently removed leaders and brought in managers. CEO has told the organization that they are restructuring and if they believe you are making too much money your salary will be reduced. They’ve also said if you don’t like it leave. They don’t care about the employees they just care there’s a butt in your seat.
