      A good place to work.

      Pros

      I work in Darigold's corporate headquarters in Seattle, and I really appreciate several things about this company. The thing I like the best is that Darigold supports a healthy work-life balance. While this may not be true of all departments (I don't have a lot of experience with the plant staff.) the department that I work in is very flexible if I have a life event that requires an adjustment of my daily schedule. Another thing that I like is the feeling that I get of being a part of a local institution. Whenever I tell people that I work for Darigold, the response has always been positive. I also like the 401k matching contributions and the ORCA card benefit that saves me a ton of money on my commute using the Sound Transit and Metro Bus systems. I enjoy the diversity of the people that I work with. Though every barrel has a bruised apple or two, the team here at Darigold is mostly made up of solid, motivated individuals who care about providing value to the Farmer/Owners and working well with other employees.

      Cons

      Because this is a very low margin industry, and Darigold is wholly owned by the Northwest Dairy Association, this is not the place to work if you are looking for a high paying, cutting edge, glamorous IT career. Darigold tries to pay a reasonable wage, but cannot compete in the salary area with the boiler rooms or meat grinders of Seattle's high-tech workplace. That being said, the atmosphere and work-life balance at Darigold make up for what is lacking in the pay scale. I, and the team I work with, put in an average of 40-45 hours per week, and, because we are a great team of qualified and motivated professionals, we manage to get our work done in that amount of time.
