Thanks for leaving your feedback. Open communication and collaboration are some of our top priorities and we are committed to creating an environment that encompasses these priorities. One of the steps that we have taken to help share the vision for the company and provide two way communication from the top down is hosting monthly town hall meetings. We have many other ideas that we are also implementing to ensure success in these areas, but would love to hear what ideas you have, so please feel free to connect with us at feedback@darigold.com.

Pros

Good people who work hard and care in production. Occasional small rewards for benchmarks met, such as safety. Overtime

Cons

1950's mentality from upper management with management style (yelling, cursing, threatening, but done out of camera view, and one on one with minimal witnesses). Lots of favorites and games played just because. Seriously demented manager who had great fun mind mangling and firing people.

Pros

free milk. orca cards.

Cons

Dirty environment. Always shorthanded, both on people and necessary work supplies. Nothing but empty promises and condescension from managers. Haven't even seen the new CEO once. No idea what he's doing to change things, but so far, from the look of it, nothing that'll affect anyone at my level. Poor communication, company-wide. Seemingly no plan for the future - but don't worry, management will get their bonuses. The increased cost for the bargaining unit employees' health insurance eats up all of the cost-of-living raise in the new contract. The sick-leave policy is overly-convoluted and impossible to qualify for any days off until you've worked here for YEARS. And work-life balance here is a joke.
