Pros

Great work/life balance Love working for a cooperative of farmer-owners Great benefits

Cons

Some people who have been here for longer than 5 years are EXTREMELY resistant to learning new ways of doing things, and won't share information for fear of losing their "importance". That, however, is not majority. There is noticeable favoritism from some individuals and this encourages/enables toxic and demeaning behavior from the "favorites" (again, not most of the company is like this)

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear you find value in working for a farmer-owned Co-Op, and are able to have a positive work-life balance. We have been going through a bit of a transitional period of late, and our belief is that our management practices will continue to improve for everyone. Thanks!

Pros

Pay not to bad, good insurance.

Cons

Hard to get a pay raise unless your one of the chosen. Supervisors more concerned with numbers then with the quality, when told about leaks from product, not stopping and fixing problem. Parts to repair over worked and old machines are not available, wait weeks for new parts. Supervisors that don't know how to run any of the equipment, Talking about subordinates to other subordinates. Forced to work Thanksgiving and Christmas due to low production numbers, only to not be able to make the daily numbers due to break downs and call ins for sick time. Lazy employees that seem to be cuddled by Supervisors, allowed to stand around, making those they are required to break out wait for longer periods of time. Numerous employees playing on cell phones instead working. To much forced overtime for some that sign up for it, but others that don't sign up for overtime not forced to work any at all, this practice needs to be more equal to all.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the pay and benefits offered. We are disappointed to hear that you felt the work environment and your relationship with management was less than satisfactory. We want to assure you we appreciate the hard work all our employees do. At Darigold our plants run 24/7/365. As well, we manufacture a perishable product so, unfortunately, this means some individuals do work on holidays. We want to assure you we strive to treat every employee with respect and fairness. This is the culture we set for all our employees and management staff. We'd appreciate your thoughts on how we can improve if you wouldn't mind sending your suggestions to us at feedback@darigold.com. Thanks!

Pros

- Much of the company is composed of reliable, talented, honest people - Many opportunities for personal growth and exposure to different functions - Some great departments/teams to work with

Cons

- Parts of leadership team uninformed how their department’s activity impacts the income statement. Roll the dice each month and hope for the best. - No accountability or course corrections with poor performers or bad strategy - No channel to voice concerns. Information flows to dept head then disappears. - Below market pay
