Hard Place To Work With No Long Term Future

Pros

Good pay in valley, lots and lots of overtime, superior benefits, matched 401K, professional upper management

Cons

Worked very hard, fluctuating shift, practically on call on your days off, possible terminated at any time, mandatory meetings on days off, majority workers hate their job so moral is low and not friendly place to work, high turnover except the tight niche group that has been there forever. No older 50+ years worker. If you work here please just understand that your fate could be like mine...I was a superior employee for Darigold for 3+ years but let go for one 15 minute mistake; but I think it was also to save company money, politics to give my position as a favor to friend, etc.. but I am not sure...

Pros

Very flexible hours and great work/life balance. I work with hard working employees who are team players. Even though I have only worked for the company a short time (under a year) I feel my work is appreciated. Free dairy products!

Cons

Being an older company growth is slow, but in return makes for a steady job. There is a divide between tenured employees and newer employees, this seems to be changing slowly.

Pros

Good opportunity for career advancement. Challenging and complicated industry with a lot of room for improvement. Overall, Darigold is a good place to work with a better than normal work/life balance. All of Senior Management is relatively new to the company, this is a good thing as the normal way of business is being challenged on a daily basis. I enjoy coming to work everyday at corporate.

Cons

The overall culture needs some improvement. While I currently don't have this problem, I believe some employees feel as though they don't have a voice and are sometimes not adequately valued. On the bright side, I believe this has actually gotten better since the new Senior Management team been in place.
