Pros

This company stands for something very real. It represents its Northwest, "Farmer/Owners" by marketing dairy/milk products to the world. Its an exciting, local place to work with lots of opportunity for growth, fair management, and exceptional benefits. Great decision on the Headquarters Move. Georgetown in 2017 = Excellent for energetic Seattle folks.

Cons

Darigold is a Little Big Company. Some changes are very slow to take place, but others can be completed with a quick sweep by good, highly motivated individuals. All employees are respected though, and part of the bigger picture.
