Pros

You know the hourly folks and some management are honest, good people being brought down in connection with some of the worst upper management/corp mgmt I/we have ever seen.

Cons

I think it's wise to write this so everyone can see who this company is. I recently saw a fantastic, smart, someone we really needed hired as a tech mgr at the Issaquah Plant. He was let go after only 7 weeks on the job for helping make the plant safe from asbestos. He was trying to help, his hourly team really liked him, other mgrs told us what a great job he was doing, then let him go. Who does this anymore. So all should be very careful working here. They, Darigold, use the "at will" excuse to ruin people's lives. Next, know that this company, and the plant at Issaquah Washington, had in 2009 criminal charges against them for discharging ammonia in a near by creek and killing spawning salmon. Now, the same plant is under investigation by the Washington labor and relations board for exposing a large number of employees to asbestos and that OSHA is investigating work on current piping and roofing material thats made of asbestos without permits nor using the right people to do asbestos removal. Last, the EPA is investigating them for dumping roofing material that contained asbestos into local landfill. So, stay away or you too could become just another person they get to destroy their life over a job. They don't care as you are just a number and thay you are but a end to a goal for farm owners to make money.

Pros

Decent 401k matching. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Compensation is very not market competitive, lack of communication between employee and senior management. Lack of company perks. Lack of growth for many employees.

Pros

Benefits is probably best in the area

Cons

Poor management: when you're on the team, you have it. When you're a worker, you don't know nothing. In the meantime management thinks they know it all and they will let you know. Lately from corporate many new policies in place driving working nuts and production down. Turnover is high, experience leaves, newbies stay.... for awhile. And then they wonder why we can't run the equipment.
