Crop Production Services Employer Reviews

Customer service, filing, answer phones, inventory, recomention forms

Management was friendly and helpful. Work was a handful but doable.

Enjoyed the job. Cut backs cost me the job but other then that great company.

CPS provides their employees with excellent benefits, a great work environment, and an overall great place to work.

A typical day at Crop Production Services was very busy. I served as first point of contact and was in charge of directing and problem solving all incoming calls. Matched, mailed and filed approximately 200 Invoices to work orders on a daily bases while answering a 6 line telephone system. Assisted sales staff by taking work orders by phone and typing – more... orders for chemical spray jobs and feritlizer applications for Agriculture crops. I would also assist employees and Administration, when needed.
I learned about pesticides, fungicedes, and fertilizers and how they can help with crops. I also learned how volume can effect pricing. The management was great at first and then became very dissappointed and discouraged when new management came in. The new manager would not take the time to see what is going on in each department. My office Manager was never at the office as she was having peronal issues which was fine except there was no support for the office personnel. We switched to a new data entry program during our busiest time of the year without any training on the new program or support which became very difficult and stressfull and unfortunately other co-workers and I became very discouraged. The office became a very stressful place to work which saddened me because that kind of atmoshere became very negative. The hardest part of that job was switching to a new data entry program without support which delayed alot of our chemical spray jobs which became alot of pressure for the Data entry team. The most enjoyable part was most of the staff. Even in the hard times I still loved working with the staff ! – less

Good place to work.Delivered agri-product's to company plant's and customer's.My co-worker's were great.Our immediate manager was great.

Don't work for this company, they are the walmart of agriculture.

Constant influx of Salesmen, customer, employees and other location calls wanting or needing products, no breaks usually forced ourselves to take a 30 min lunch break. Drove to work 45 min in the Dark and Drove home 45 min in the Dark on a very bad highway. Area Management somewhat supportive but always talked down to ALL the employees at the location – more... which created a big problem for me to get everyone motivated to do their jobs correctly. Operations Manager was very supportive of Warehouse Managers and helped as much as possible. Co-workers were great to work with, at least those who actually tried to do their jobs at other locations and did not depend on me to do everything for them. – less

great place to work hardest part of the job was dealing with the chemicals i worked with the odor and dangers of them

Was a very nice place to work.

Loved the people i worked with.

Mornings was the best part of day, cause thats when you saw everyone before they start there day.

When the company closed its doors and moved.

Corporation destroying loyal employees, long-term employees at its best, looks to rid great employees, place blame on mid level managers, and continue bold face lies and intimidating tactics.

Only enjoyable part, was hiring competent loyal workers who enjoyed coming to work and having me as their boss.

Clock in, inventory fertilizer bins,check board of what farmers fields were working on,mix batches and set up run schedule.Get trucks going in right directions,call salesman to see if they need any deliveries if so fill out work order,gather all product,load truck and start deliveries,get back mix for next fields and so on.Sometimes i need four arms – more... and four legs, or just another body to send somewere else.Mnagement is real layed back,they let you learn as you go.The hardest part of job is to set up schedule so there are no conflicts with customers and,and all product is delivered safe and on time.Learned alot about agriculture and crops,what fertilizers do what for yielding bigger crops. – less

This internship required 10-12 hour days 5-6 days a week. The pay was good, and the job taught me a lot about how the Ag industry operates.

I got hired in out of college after graduating and was told I had to be an hourly employee for six months, then I would be placed into an agronomy sales position. It got to be nine months and after all of the lying and nothing changed I left. It was due to a LAZY and INCOMPETENT Crop Consultant that was scared of his own job and felt that I was a threat – more... to him and was rude and purposely held me back. The manager at the store I was at continued to lie and lie to me and nothing was ever done. The management above him kept telling me and others they were going to fix it and never did so I left. Seems to me if anyone at the District Office had any sense they would fire that Crop Consultant because he is such an arrogant person, does not respect his hourly employees and loses all kinds of sales based on customers disliking him and his attitude. And this has happened to TWO previous college graduates before me and only at that specific store so it seems to me it is that specific stores problem because college graduates thrive at all of the other locations. Other than that they did not work very many hours and I had a good time cutting up with the hourly employees. All of there stuff was way over priced though and I hope that farmers and locals continue the trend to buy local instead of putting money into the pockets of Canadian stockholders. – less

no inovation, lack of support, willingness and communication.

Management issues ie. coplaints by growers and employees

enjoyed working hard when busy. not busy was a long,long day !! co-workers were great to work with. learned alot about farming.

After learning the company was shorting farmers on product and over charging I brought it to the attention of the management team. I was then quickly "let go" from the company. I wouldn't recommend working for this company unless you are devoid of any business ethics.

CPS is a good company to work for, you have some flexability and you have a work/life balance. You may go weeks and not hear from anyone. No one bothers you as long as you are doing your job. Benefits are great, lots of wonderfull peopel to work with.

Terrible place to work, I would never work there again. Company is not run by the brightest of people and they still honor handshake deals. I don't know how this company can be a publicly traded company with backdoor deals.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at CPS, but accepted a full time job in my home town
