Thanks for leaving a review. While we are glad that you enjoyed our total compensation package, we are disappointed to hear that you felt the work environment was sub-par. Safety is our number 1 priority, and as such we have a zero tolerance policy regarding alcohol consumption in the workplace. We take these accusations very seriously, and would appreciate any more information you could provide by contacting us at feedback@darigold.com.
