Pros: As a Field Agronomist, the base salary is pretty competitive for the palm oil industry in Sumatra. It's a stable, big corporate company, so you generally know what to expect with your paycheck. They do pay on time, which is good.
Cons: The benefits package isn't great, especially the health insurance. It feels pretty basic for a company of this size. There's not much flexibility, obviously, since you're working onsite managing estates. Retirement contributions aren't super generous either.
Advice to Management: Consider beefing up the health insurance and retirement plans. Better benefits would definitely help retain employees, especially those working hard in the field.
