Pros

Competitive benefits, some plants are located in decent areas of the NW

Cons

At the plant level all departments are spread very thin and 95% of the job is firefighting. The company is trying to build a continuous improvement culture, however the lack of staffing makes it near impossible. Continuous improvement doesn't happen in a room full of managers, yet the number of hourly employees is so sparse that they realistically do not have the time to contribute, especially dealing with failing outdated equipment daily. The number of responsibilities required for the job was unrealistic in comparison to other dairy manufacturing companies that I have worked for. It was high level stress at all times and very day was a new crisis. Work culture is not great, as a younger female I was constantly treated as incompetent by many individuals. The company claims to be diverse on their website, but this is so far from the truth, especially at the plant level.

Hello, thank you for leaving a review. While we are glad you found our benefits package competitive, we are disappointed to hear that the work environment was not up to the standards we strive to implement. As you mentioned, we are building a continuous improvement culture. This will take time to develop to maturity and some gaps may remain during the transition period — but we are working hard to bridge them. In the meantime, we want everyone in this company to feel welcome and appreciated, and employees treating others as incompetent is absolutely not something we tolerate. We would be grateful if you could send more details to feedback@darigold.com, so that we can investigate and address this matter in greater detail.
