Pros

Four days a week Monday through Thursday only because I was utilities lead mechanic

Cons

Cons, bad management, uncaring, main maintenance manager wold always go around me to others in my crew. No yearly reviews because if they have you a review then they would have to give you a raise. Company always cutting 401k most people depressed and want out, Darigold is poor at best. Don’t work here,
