Pros

Free chocolate milk and cowboy coffee.

Cons

Where to begin. HR runs this place with an iron fist and fear based tactics. No matter how good you do, it's never enough nor is it recognized. Management has long overstayed their welcome and has seemed to have forgotten where they started. Consistently a do as I say, not as I do environment with lack of true management, leadership and people skill.

Pros

co-workers and not much more

Cons

Darigold has just unveiled their new bonus program. They are touting that it is based on benchmarks and aligns to market. This is a laughable. They are reducing bonus' (expect for management) and most employees are capped at ~$1,000. What benchmarks are they using that aligns this structure with the Seattle companies that they compete with for talent? HR and executive management have lost touch with employees and with how employees are rewarded. They say they are using outside consultants who are validating our compensation alignment yet they are not transparent with the benchmarks. In fact, HR is trying to spin the truth. Next we will hear from them that merit increases will be minimal as these same consultants and HR professionals are providing the input. They set us up with the new performance ratings and now are finding ways to reduce compensation after one of our more successful years. At the end of the day Darigold is going to be left with only the employees who can't find a job someplace else.

Pros

Free milk and cottage cheese in the frig plus a catered Thanksgiving meal are definite pluses.

Cons

Where to begin? People here cannot find jobs elsewhere and no one wants to hire a Darigold employee since they are losers in life and on the job. No communications between groups. Extreme passive aggressive back stabbing. No one trusts HR. I came here 2 years ago and the people in my group are a big joke. They get promoted and should really be clerks. This place behaves like the US Government. The leader of HR is never in the office. My advice - look elsewhere or else you will be stuck here like me. Doomed for the rest of my life.
