      Poor Senior Management - Hostile Work Environment

      Finance director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary and Benefits were on par with other companies.

      Cons

      Lack of direction and appreciation from senior management. Hostile work environment. Senior leadership (at the top) comes across as egotistical, closed minded, and sometimes resorts to bullying.

      Terrible Company that treats their employees as expendable

      Forklift operator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None that outweigh the cons

      Cons

      -Unorganized -Will make you work obscene amount of hours with no help. If you’re a good worker you’re rewarded with more work and less support -Management is abusive towards staff -Machines always break down -Not given the breaks you need and if you try to take a break you’ll fall behind on production and get chewed out for it -Short staffed and will make you work double shifts -Can’t move up because turn over rate is so high -No work life balance -If you try to report to higher levels of management they’ll make your life worse so that you quit -Training is inadequate -When upper management from Seattle HQ visits they slow down production to make it seem like everything is running smoothly -Nepotism -Don’t let the reviews fool you. This is a terrible place to work

      Decent wages and benefits, broken culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is decent and the benefits and 401k are above average. I had a good experience with my coworkers and immediate management team.

      Cons

      The organization is extremely top heavy and there is a huge divide between employees and management. The culture encourages these differences and there is an us-vs-them mentality. Management intentionally sets themselves apart and hold themselves above employees. My personal interactions have revealed a condescending attitude from corporate, perhaps as a result of the plant/warehouse being more blue collar. You cannot make high level production decisions from a spreadsheet, you have to know what is going on out on the floor day to day. Darigold's biggest problem is that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and there is very little effort at communication between the two. There is very little room for advancement and much of the opportunity for growth ends in cronyism, especially at the plant level. If you are not in management, you are very much just a number to them. You may or may not matter to your direct supervisors but upper management could not care less about you, no matter your contributions. Its not that you are mistreated, its that you do not matter to them at all. Think that scene from Mad Men when an underling goes off on Don Draper and says "I feel bad for you" and Don replies, "I don't think about you at all."

      Thank you for leaving a review. We are happy to hear that you felt compensated fairly for your work and had a positive experience with your immediate team. We are, however, disappointed that you felt your contributions were not recognized by upper management — since that is the opposite of what we strive to do at Darigold. Instead, we are working very hard to encourage a collaborative culture where everyone feels that their voices and ideas are both heard and valued. To that end we have instituted many avenues for people to share their feedback. That said, there is always room for improvement and we welcome further details. While some people aren’t comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings in the exit interview we give all departing employees, we would appreciate if you could reach out to us at feedback@darigold.com with any ideas you have for improving communication throughout our facilities or leverage the anonymous hotline. We can then incorporate this feedback into the mechanisms we have in place to encourage continuous improvement. Thanks!
