Pros

Great teams and great people all across the company! The company promotes learning and personal growth by providing incredible opportunities all across the board.

Cons

It is a hundred years old company going through major structural change that, which means the work structure and data availability is not its strongest suit.

Pros

Good company, you get to work for and sometimes meet farmers. Transformation has been hard for both the long time employees and the new people but overall making progress. Great nutritious products

Cons

Some normal corporate stuff to deal with. The senior leaders could work together better, not always on the same page and various levels of competency.

Stepping Stone

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The 9% 401k match is pretty good, but you have to work for three years with the company to be fully vested.

Cons

It's a dying industry, plain and simple. The facilities are falling apart. No effort to reduce waste. Employees are severely overworked. Supervisors are scapegoats caught between union employees and operations management. Most management could care less. Corporate is completely disconnected.

Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely disappointed to learn that you did not have a good experience with our company. Darigold and the Northwest Dairy Association have been continually operating in the Northwest for over 100 years and intend to continue operations for hundreds more. While we acknowledge there is always room for improvement, we are actively engaged with eliminating waste across the enterprise and have recently announced several new projects designed to ensure our cooperative remains competitive — both locally and internationally. Also, new data released Sep. 4 by the USDA’s Economic Research Service has found that per capita dairy consumption in the United States has reached an all-time high. As such, we are 100% committed to empowering all of our employees to continue providing consumers the highest possible quality dairy products. We encourage you to please reach out to feedback@darigold.com to provide further information so we can locate the gaps between our mission and delivery. Kind regards, Darigold HR
