Poor Management of a Great Brand Name

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Location - you can't go wrong being in the Santa Monica Mountains and 10 miles north of Malibu. - Work Life balance is nice because I live close to work, not the same story for my coworkers. - Nice building to work in.

Cons

- Company expects brand name to carry it to success. - Management doesn't financially support the growth of the brand. - Most employees work here because it is in the location they want to live. - Very inefficient. - Reactionary vs. visionary company. - Focused on stuffing ourselves into a niche that hinders financial growth. - No leadership development resulting in some key leadership positions being filled with incompetent leaders - No true accountability or execution. - Uninspiring - California is beautiful but expensive, especially when we haven’t received a bonus for the past number of years in order to pay down company debt

Must be willing to drink the Kool Aid

Pros

Corporate culture of honesty and even handedness that I support. Healthy products I can believe in. Senior management at DFV has made good on its promises and has a clear direction. The employees are dedicated and contientious.

Cons

Recent culture of overworking many employees to bring down costs. Long term burnout and poor decision making are starting to show. Middle managment in my dept. seems unfocused and incapable of making and sticking to a decision.

Pros

The staff at Dole was incredibly friendly, and everyone was more than willing to get me involved on projects throughout my internship.

Cons

Hours were long, and the work could sometimes be demanding. Depending on the department, some would work much longer than others.
