Darigold reviews

At the plant level all departments are spread very thin and 95% of the job is firefighting. The company is trying to build a continuous improvement culture, however the lack of staffing makes it near impossible. Continuous improvement doesn't happen in a room full of managers, yet the number of hourly employees is so sparse that they realistically do not have the time to contribute, especially dealing with failing outdated equipment daily. The number of responsibilities required for the job was unrealistic in comparison to other dairy manufacturing companies that I have worked for. It was high level stress at all times and very day was a new crisis. Work culture is not great, as a younger female I was constantly treated as incompetent by many individuals. The company claims to be diverse on their website, but this is so far from the truth, especially at the plant level.

There is little to no upward mobility in this organization, which is shocking as the Senior Recruiter really tries to sell this to candidates during interviews. The turnover rate is incredibly high, especially with more entry level positions, as there is little to no chance of moving up within the company. The culture at HQ is old school and does not allow employees with fresh ideas to voice them in a way that they are actually heard. Most of the new changes are being done for appearances instead of actually bettering themselves as an employer. Many managers have incredibly poor management skills, and while these concerns are voiced nothing is done about it. Town Halls are spoken about constantly as a way to prove there is "Open Communication" but this is not the case, and really just another fake claim the Recruiters make.
