Darigold needs to completely overhaul the way they manage their people

Pros

-The idea of working for a local co-op is nice (though I think the farmers and their families would be appalled at what actually goes on at Darigold) -Decent benefits package -The Town Hall meetings were a good idea to keep people in the loop - but make sure you hold enough that everyone can go

Cons

-No flexibility in work schedule -Favorites are played at every level -Management is close-minded to new ideas, and so systems are very inefficient -Training is inadequate -Communication between employees and supervisors is functionally non-existent

Pros

Great benefits but decreasing each year. It is wonderful to work for a local farmer owned business.

Cons

Very poor leadership at the highest levels in the organization. Many business decisions seem to be made in the HR department. Untruthful culture. I have seen numerous combative situations. Leaders communicate very poorly. The new leadership, since 2008, is very weak. Very opinionated but clueless.
