Decent wages and benefits, broken culture

Pros

The pay is decent and the benefits and 401k are above average. I had a good experience with my coworkers and immediate management team.

Cons

The organization is extremely top heavy and there is a huge divide between employees and management. The culture encourages these differences and there is an us-vs-them mentality. Management intentionally sets themselves apart and hold themselves above employees. My personal interactions have revealed a condescending attitude from corporate, perhaps as a result of the plant/warehouse being more blue collar. You cannot make high level production decisions from a spreadsheet, you have to know what is going on out on the floor day to day. Darigold's biggest problem is that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and there is very little effort at communication between the two. There is very little room for advancement and much of the opportunity for growth ends in cronyism, especially at the plant level. If you are not in management, you are very much just a number to them. You may or may not matter to your direct supervisors but upper management could not care less about you, no matter your contributions. Its not that you are mistreated, its that you do not matter to them at all. Think that scene from Mad Men when an underling goes off on Don Draper and says "I feel bad for you" and Don replies, "I don't think about you at all."

Thank you for leaving a review. We are happy to hear that you felt compensated fairly for your work and had a positive experience with your immediate team. We are, however, disappointed that you felt your contributions were not recognized by upper management — since that is the opposite of what we strive to do at Darigold. Instead, we are working very hard to encourage a collaborative culture where everyone feels that their voices and ideas are both heard and valued. To that end we have instituted many avenues for people to share their feedback. That said, there is always room for improvement and we welcome further details. While some people aren’t comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings in the exit interview we give all departing employees, we would appreciate if you could reach out to us at feedback@darigold.com with any ideas you have for improving communication throughout our facilities or leverage the anonymous hotline. We can then incorporate this feedback into the mechanisms we have in place to encourage continuous improvement. Thanks!
