Why would that be bad for either? Volume buyers normally get better prices that they can pass onto the customer and most larger companies offer better pay/bennies for the workers.
We have 3 chain owned dealers in the area (out to 60 miles one way). 2 are decent to do business with while the 3rd is more of a small dealer trying to play with the big boys. Both the CaseIH (Titan) and JD (RDO) dealers are pretty good while the AGCO one is pretty bad. I know people who work for both Titan and RDO. All seem OK with pay and bennies. All would jump ship if conditions, pay or bennies were not good.
Look at it this way. Larger companies pay less for better health coverage for employees. Simple math on that. The insurance company gives them a better rate because they are buying for hundreds of employees instead of 10 or 15. Same thing applies when getting a 401K set up. Cheaper to set one up for a couple of hundred employees than it is for 10/15/20. The only real benny to working for a small place is you MAY.....MAY have a friendlier work environment.
Yea we all fondly remember good ole Joe's tractor emporium. Went to school with him/his kids ECT. That doesn't mean he wasn't making a bigger margin or paying his employees better. An example is here. The mom and pop places that swore Wal Mart would drive em out of business are still here, 10 years later. Charging 10% less than they were. That means that they were gouging us by at least 10% before wally world moved in.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
