Pros

there are no pros to working here

Cons

since the merger things have constantly gone down hill . the retail end of it has been in a transition for more than 4 years and still no light at the end of the tunnel. They are constantly changing things last minute . They keep the retail in the dark till they need something from them. Their HR department could care less about how to help people navigate the garbage policies that they have in place. The work life balance is poor all the time - its a struggle to take any time off at all. They always reward the under preforming employees and treat the good ones like garbage. There is no direction from the top - other than growth - that is the end all be all - the upper management will neglect to take into account their market and the transitions in the market and expect nothing but substantial growth - which is neither realistic or achievable . When it was Agrium and not on a buying spree things were really good through the chain , that has all gone the way of proving that they can make their shareholders money. They have no connection with their customer - even though they think they do. Number one priority is their shareholders and that is it they could care less about any one who is involved in that process to earn them that dollar.

Pros

great benefits in full time employment. Nice profit sharing plenty of pto

Cons

Busy and understaffed during the busiest times. You get plenty of pto, just can't use it. Planting and harvest time your putting your life on hold, if your at a busy plant your busy from March to middle of July or later, you are working weeks of 70-100+ hrs In a row if the weather stays good, it's the same with fall your 70-100 hr weeks until the ground freezes . Oh you wanted a night with family, too bad, customer called you gotta get this field done tonight. Sales reps are muck stirring people that enjoy the drama they cause. Trucks are sketchy at best, shut up and drive it is heard quite often. Saftey is talked about and how serious they are about it until they find out how much it cost or interferes with anything then it's ignored. You got a doctor's appointment, hopefully it's not during busy season or they force you to cancel it, make it during the slow season, again they will have a fit and force you to cancel it. Dont expect to get promoted, job openings at your location are but word of mouth and only to selected few. The CSA score is extremely high and they really do nothing about it other then talk about lowering it.

Pros

The ag industry is more exciting than you would expect from the outside. There is real innovation happening in ag and Nutrien is a leader in the space. There are great people there and if you find the right group you can do good work. Just be prepared for backstabbing, the politics can be brutal (at least in the digital division).

Cons

Two things: Politics and tech debt 1. There are some nasty people in the digital division who you don't want to get on the wrong side of. Disagree with product leadership at your own risk. These people smile to your face and then talk behind your back. There's lots of turnover partly because talent leaves when they realize the political landscape. But there is also turnover because people have their job one day and are unexpectedly gone the next because they unintentionally angered the wrong person. 2. The other downside is the huge amount of technical debt associated with their transition to SAP. They've been working on it for 3+ years and there is no end in sight. Long, slow, grueling roadmaps are the norm. The further behind they get, the more pressure is put on the people who do the work. Working nights and weekends was normal and encouraged in the months before I left.
