Damage control reviews being left for FPI

Pros

If you take all the good things from real reviews, and truly live by them and do a some enhancing to culture/WLB/benefits...you will have Pros listed.

Cons

The review posted on 01/31/2018 titled "great place to work, family atmosphere" was left by the CEO as a way of "damage control" in response to the multitude of bad reviews from real employees. Take a look at the wording of that review and compare it to his responses to other reviews for FPI. This "review" is misleading. The culture WAS fun and loose; however, the new environment is one of fear and blame. All of the "brightest technical people" have left the company because it is not somewhere we want to work. FPI doesn't ask people to punch a clock - true. What company does? That being said, the new CIO started demanding that people on a certain project work nights, weekends, and holidays. How is this an "excellent" work/life balance? Yes, IT team members should except the occasional weekend or night work due to an issue or some kind of scheduled work; however, when those hours are being forced on employees via bullying and threats of being fired, then it isn't promoting work/life balance or a "great place to work". If people are FPI's most important asset, then why when presented with complaints and exit interview/email contents, did the CEO respond with a statement of "I don't care"? If people are the greatest asset, then why are so many people leaving because they are being treated poorly and because the company seems unstable to work for?

Pros

Flex and 401K,some team members are good

Cons

The workplace environment is hostile and discriminatory. IT leadership lacks direction and often appears confused. Instead of addressing their own shortcomings, they tend to blame employees for leadership-related issues. While HR organizes superficial employee appreciation events, they seem to lack genuine concern for the well-being of employees. Additionally, there's a palpable lack of trust towards customers, and candid communication or provision of accurate information is not valued

Pros

I’ve been with the company for ten years and have experienced both the old and new FPI. For the last two years I have seen FPI transforming into a company that can sustain growth and excellence by building on the success of its first 20 years. But it’s not without growing pains. We still have work to do to be the best. Some people don’t like the transformation, as seen in some of the reviews here. People have an ax to grind. Every person isn’t cut out for every company. At the company’s core are very talented and experienced people, many of whom have been around for 20 or more years. Our most valuable asset is our people who work hard every day to service our customers. People in Farm Credit are down-to-earth, genuine and compassionate - very different from other industries. FPI is beginning to shift to using more cloud services which creates opportunities for developers to learn new technologies. FPI has transparency in how they do compensation, which isn’t common. It creates a culture of fairness and transparency. They reward performance. There is a strong culture of giving/donating/fundraising that is rare. Afternoon snacks at 3pm. FPI is adding two new customers this year. Growth opportunities for employees. In the past couple months I have seen about a dozen promotions and even more lateral moves. They’ve created a rich environment for growth.

Cons

Some people have left the company because they can’t cut it. Either they can’t meet expectations or they can’t change with the transformation. Some people are sour about the transformation, and they just don’t belong here. Sometimes they drag down team spirit. You’d better be adaptable to work here because for 20+ years, our CEO shook things up every two years by moving people around and optimizing teams. People who are resistant to change or continuous improvement might be better off working somewhere else. The culture has changed a bit in the last couple years, but there is still wiffleball, a company band, celebrations, recognition, fundraisers, performance awards, bonuses, competitive pay. It’s fun and still better than working for the other big employers around here.

Thanks for the kind words on this review. We are excited about the direction of the company and the response we are getting from the customers. We'll need to work on the snowplow situation, hopefully no more snow until next winter. Howard Bruck CEO
