Darling Ingredients reviews

Is the money there? Yes and no, the rate of pay has not nor will it ever keep up with the rate of inflation because of deep seated greed within Darling. During negotiations we're fighting for nickels and dimes. Several of their trucks do not have air conditioning for the 80+ degree days during summer and now your driving a sweat shop on wheels, this is not only dangerous for a persons health but also a reason to contact OSHA. I have been to the ER already this summer complaining of extreme heat related illness. Someone could die under these long hours and working conditions and believe me, my wife will sue you for wrongful death because this matter has been brought to managements attention for years going unaddressed. Your drivers are the backbone to your company and deserve better working conditions and pay.

Management is definitely a CON of working at Darling. Honestly, if you have a job now and are considering making a career move to go to Darling, I wouldn't. I am not exaggerating when I say that most people here are unhappy. There are no work, team building events, no employee appreciation programs and it is just a STALE environment. The Vacation time is horrible, you only get 2 weeks per year, for the first 5 years you are employed there. The Information Technology department is highly under-staffed and the managers only know what they are doing, when it pertains to the Darling environment - seems like they have no experience with what a good environment (Cohesive) would be like. They lie about the small and big things, and are hypocritical. I am not disgruntled. As a matter fact, the only reason I am writing this is to hopefully Help someone or someones out there that may attempt to make a career move and might need some advice. Look through all of the Glassdoor reviews - most of them discuss bad Management. DO NOT TAKE that lightly. When you have bad managers, your life can be opposite of happy and it effects so many aspects in your personal life. Honestly, stay away.
