John Deere Employee Job Reviews in the United States

What don't you like about working at John Deere?

"I have worked at John Deere Davenport for 7 years. The first 5 years were great! We had great CEO's and Supervisors. I would say 95% of the wage workers were happy. The last 2 years have been awful. New management is probley the worst I have seen in my life time. They dont listen to problems or ideas from wage workers. They play the blame game to the Business Unit Manager. Supervisor's blame wage workers for down time 99% of the time. Most of the down time is due to lack of supervisor skills to cordinate the work day,Supply Management and horrible Time Study Engineer's. The Business Unit Manager is clueless and thinks his staff is doing thier jobs. Most of the supervisor's now treat everyone like they are dirt. I cant comment on any other Deere plant but Davenport. I assume Davenport is the worst because it cant get any lower. New hires are treated even worse. They are expected to run a job then stop in the middle of the day and run a different job. Half the time they are not proplery trained. Wage workers agian then take a hit on poor quality becasue the supervisor can not organize training."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The Business Unit Manager needs to hold its salary team accountable for thier actions. No action means no productivity. Dont just trust your salary worker because they are salary. We are all supose to work together not fight eachother. Alittle give and take gets things done!"
