Pros

Haven't found any in years

Cons

The so called "management" team is completely useless. Constantly breaks the law, lies to corporate and employees on the daily. After adding 12 management and supervisor positions, being filled with incompetent people and people from production that got promoted, most likely due to sexual acts with management are completely useless and still somehow cant figure out how to communicate with production, let alone eachother. Never hold themselves accountable, always try to blame employees for their mistakes when it's blatantly clear what happened. Consistently making horrible choices for the plant, cutting employees overtime while all of management is on salary and laughing at us for losing out on our money. Only follows their company's own policies when it benefits them. Corporate has been notified over 30 documented times about the state of the plant and the harassment and unethical practices of the managers but continue to do nothing about, besides retaliating against the employees.

Pros

Your helping local farmers & they give a very generous 401k

It’s very siloed and senior management refuse to work together to make the right business decisions for the farmers.

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
