Working for Monsanto started out good, I knew that I would only be there for the duration of my contract. The compensation was not the best, and the hours were very long. Average work week was about 50 - 60 hours per week. Management was very nice but also very unproductive and not very organized, leading the project to take longer than expected.

I was a lab technician at Monsanto in Waterman, IL. Monsanto is a big company that isn't located only in Waterman. It is all over Illinois. It was fun to work with really nice people. I learned a lot about safety and people. I planted seeds in Herb lab. My supervisor taught me a lot. There was no hard work in there. I am a very quick learner and I am – more... willing to learn everything at a new job. I had to leave this place because I moved out to another city. I liked everything about that job except some people. – less

A day at Monsanto typically starts with contacting a lot of companies who you gain a relationship with on a day to day basis. The good thing is that you have the same contact people on a regular. I learned the ends and outs of the company on the import/export side. The management is typically laid back and approachable. They are hard working people – more... who expect nothing less than that in return from their employees. There was no hard part. The enjoyable part of the job was working with friendly people that felt like family. – less

At Monsanto I was able to employ many of the skills I brought from my business. I received recognition for mastery of 16 skill sets and was working on 6 more, that would have put me in position for a Tech 4.

Depending on the season you started early or stayed late
No such thing as a "routine" day, work hard-play hard with demonstrated gratitude for a job well done.

Belonging to an international organization is a life changing experience with team-mates you commicate with through changing technology and high level secuirty.

Co-workers that are ethical, – more... trustworthy, sincere, hard working and willing to laugh. Matrix level collaboration, quality continuing education and friends that last beyond the project.

Maintaining work life balance is a challege in any environment, add security and the schedules of executives in a changing economy it becomes a unique challenge.

Meeting the farmers and customers that were served by the organization, seeing new products and earning the respect of colleagues. – less

Lead and manage crews of 10 to 15 people. Learned how to be a team leader and take responsibility for things in the work place. My co-workers were fun to work with and that only made going to work easy and enjoyable. The hardest part of the job was to have to do quality control and maintain consist work results.

I enjoyed working for Monsanto for the many years i was contracted to them. They are very efficient at what they do and am very good at organizing staff and work.

Excellent company to begin career in Ag sector that allows many opportunities to find a personal niche. In most cases the company will provide or purchase necessary materials to advance or change professional area of focus.

This is not a good place to work, long hours you can't leave till everyone is done with their work

Going to work is not a drag! Management knows how to motivate without the micro managing!

very good steady production and way to many hours worked and not enough off, 13 day work 1 off day in between

Loved working as a operator, where I was responsible for turning liquid surgar into a power form, in this postion was very rewarding, and exciting, able to trained incoming employee, on safety, daily operation, housekeeping (GMP), and work in different area of the plant at large.

Company's focus is on making money. If site produces well, the site manager has complete control over everything. There is no oversight, even if the company has knowledge of his actions and behavior. There have been serious abuses but nothing will be done because money is made.

I loved working at Monsanto. The people, opportunities for education and advancement are amazing. Managers are very understanding, flexible and great teachers.

A Monsanto é uma excelente empresa que possibilita ao funcionário evoluir em seus conhecimentos e cargo. Coloca acima de tudo a segurança de seus funcionários, visitantes, clientes e desenvolve produtos de alta qualidade levando em consideração a sustentabilidade.
