Pros

Free Lunches is literally the only PRO item on this company. I mean, that is besides the fact that they have some good people that work there, most of which are not happy with the place.

Cons

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.
