Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! We strive to provide competitive wages as well as a comprehensive benefit package, and we’re glad you feel that we were able to accomplish that! As we are a 24/7/365 business sometimes we do have some early mornings, but we are determined to provide a quality work-life balance for our employees. Some of the ways we do that is by providing work place flexibility and shift payment differentials. Additionally, we’d love to hear your ideas on how we can improve communication in the organization, please contact us at feedback@darigold.com. Thanks!

Pros

I came here five years ago approximately with a great team which has totally changed and not for the better. Some very good and smart people I still work with make it worthwhile. Benefits are pretty good for health and 401k.

Cons

Pay can be slightly low to market. No one knows how to achieve a raise or bonus unless of course you are in the favorites team which is very obvious. New review system makes no sense to how they are doing this and as others have said here we are 'suggested' to write positive reviews to bump our scores up on this site which was a big deal to new leadership a year ago to make it look better - when I think this is to cover up how intimated people are by new leader. I think it is showing in business results now too.
