Pros

Free milk & decent benefits

Cons

I am always amused by positive messages planted by upper management which in no way reflect the sentiments of the rank and file

Pros

a couple of my co workers made working there bearable.

Cons

During my first week of working for Darigold I sat around and listened to my co workers tell me about how much they disliked working there and how they can't wait to land a new job. If this wasn't the biggest motivation killer for a new hire then I don't know what is. Low-average pay - nothing special. Micromanaging is very bad here. Disorganized - multiple unions and job titles working together, stepping on each others toes and making even the simplest tasks difficult. Surprisingly a dirty environment for food processing. Absolutely terrible work/life balance. No days off for a year.

Pros

Pay is competitive, but not worth it for a second.

Cons

Absolutely the worst work experience of my life. I only wish I would have paid closer attention to the Glassdoor reviews and/or talked to former employees. If you are considering a job with Darigold, RUN. Run and don't look back.
