Pros

The pay if you are willing to live at the plant

Cons

Supervisors aren't allowed to supervise Union is hand in hand with the company No payroll or human resources Corporate is packed with people doing jobs people at the plant already do Customers never get prices raised, never have to return cases or other darigold owned items and they never get charged If you work hard you make the same amount as someone who works only half their shift and sleeps on the job No one even knows the plant manager and most don't know what he looks like Employee parking lot is a drug dealers paradise All extra curricular events are for corporate not for actual labor workers

Pros

If you need to support a family with competitive wages and benefits this is a good place. The positive "buck" stops there. No more positives I can really think of and I gave it some thought........ :(

Cons

There are too many to list but I will try a few in short manner. (PLANT LEVEL)There is no balance on workload day shift vs night shift. There is harasment from supervisors, managers, drivers, mechanics, machinist, and co-workers running rampant. Favortism plus other factors create a hostile enviroment. You spend all your time here and if you can't handle a harsh fast paced enviroment......well it will break you in one way or another. (CORP LEVEL) They spend company money and waiste company time. Just like Pappy O'Daniel in "O Brother Where Art Thou?" There is some major poloticin' going on. If you are white this place is right. If you are a minority, go join another majority. I could go on and on but who wants to read a novel? :)

Pros

There where a few nice people

Cons

I was hired to lead a team that had no idea I was coming. On my first day, I flew to Seattle, and on my second day, I received my equipment and met my team—without any prior context or introductions. They were simply names on my calendar. Despite the awkward start, I did my best to make the most of being brand new. Unfortunately, both of my direct reports made it clear they didn’t want me there. Within a few months, I was labeled as incompetent before I even had a real chance to develop my team or build meaningful relationships. After my first week, I was sent home with a full workload and no opportunity to meet my team in person until the holiday party. Every time I turned around, I found myself stepping into chaos. The work environment was toxic—an overworked team with insufficient resources and little support. I genuinely felt for those I left behind. Whenever I consulted my team to discuss reprioritizing work or finding additional resources to improve collaboration, I was met with resistance. I had left a great company for what turned out to be a disorganized, often hostile workplace. In hindsight, I’m grateful I moved on. I’m finally starting to feel more at ease and optimistic about what’s next. -
