The 25 cent raises are terrible. The culture is a joke. People walk in making more than employees of 2+ years. If offered a position, NEGOTIATE HIGH because the raises are not very good once you're in. They lack advancements. The work however is super easy and a monkey can do it yet most of the employees lack the work ethic of a monkey. 3/4 of the managers are completely incompetent and barely know their own head from their own... Pay gaps between employees in the same departments range from $3-9 per hour depending on the department you're in with no rhyme or reason and same amount of experience level. The plant overall is ran poorly and with a lot of inconsistency as far as reward and reprimand go, especially the reprimand side of it. If you're a male, don't work in the quality lab. When they decide to move on from you, they'll give you a "severance package" to keep quiet and essentially disappear. When they're wrong they're still right in their eyes. I don't recommend this place to work at as they not only go through a lot of employees for their small number but they also go through a decent amount of managers and engineers from corporate on down to the newest plant in Wooster. Nobody is ever safe at this place, jobs aren't as secure as they should be and could be. They preach trust, clean, and transparency but yet everything they say and do is filled with questions and shades of gray without any truthful answers. 

This company has huge potential to actually be a employement destination. Lack of involved HR gives plant upper management free reign to high and fire as please with No follow up. Company culture is very far from actual PLANT culture. I accepted a position due to the pitched Company culture. I left a lot better company Excited to be in a performance based plant where your work ethics and hard work would pay off. I was fired from Daisy with zero follow up based on a disagreement with a temp employee who’s family members were close friends with my shift supervisor and the plant manager.  All in short i had upwards of 3000$ in damage to my motorcycle that occurred  during my work shift and was fired the next morning Along with my brother who had nothing to do with the situation.  

During the time from termination to current. I have heard and talked to individuals who has story’s very similar to mine. 

This is the chance you take, and something to consider when thinking about working for a company with such little HR structure along with very little written policy’s.

Well known products with one of the best quality reputations in all of CPG. 
The culture is friendly, supportive and most importantly ethical; Daisy Brand wants you to do what is best for the customer and the the company.  The benefits and compensation are some of the best in the industry if not the best plus they provide a car allowance pay your the fuel used for business purposes.  Daisy Brand makes a commitment to provide every employee the best in class technology support and equipment. 
 
There are high expectations for work and travel can be demanding but management try to establish the best possible work/life balance while meeting the needs to keep the business moving forward.  Management will do their best to accommodate any personal events and very rarely if ever are they unable to do so as long as you provide some notice.

Sales routes range from a tight compact route with low mileage in the cities to large rural routes that requires driving long hours. Seasonal work takes off come Thanksgiving and Christmas so some weekend work is required during this period.

This is a great company to work for. Difficult to get in (it took me about a month start to finish to get in, but I've heard from other people in the company that it took as long as 6 months) but once you're in, you are treated like family. They give you the training and tools you need to do your job and the rest is really up to you. Like anything else what you put into it determines how much you'll get out of the experience. Great benefits. If I could underline that I would. Great benefits. Health, dental, vision, gym reimbursement, 401k and PTO time. The job can be difficult, one of my coworkers described it as the easiest hard job he ever had, which fits it pretty well. I've seen posted on here some have had problems with management, but I haven't come across anything like that (at least yet). I've been treated nothing but fairly. The company has so far been very generous as well and routinely tries to get everyone involved in periodic events, which usually involves free food for everyone.

Daisy Brand is a forward-thinking food manufacturer that has experienced much growth over the last ten years. You will work with some highly skilled people that are often great individuals. The insurance benefits are exceptional. The pay is above average for most positions, and high performers get decent raises every year. A generous vacation package is standard. You probably will not be given much opportunity for company directed skill growth outside your daily job functions. The management structure is very flat so there are limited chances for upward movement. Education credentials are highly preferred for management positions. The hardest part of the job is the pace at which work is done; continuous sales growth has put pressure on product production that is bumped up against time and people resource limits. You will probably not be worried about sudden layoffs!

I have worked here for sometime now and I'm sorry I didn't look at the reviews of this company before I agreed to work here because the negative reviews that you read are correct! To get hired you have to go through THREE interviews with at least three members of upper staff each time. Pretty sad that it takes a company that many times with that many Supervisors to make a decision to hire someone to throw boxes and cups at a machine all day. I shall warn you all,if you are looking for advancement,well....Don't. If you want to throw boxes and cups at a machine all day for the rest of your life..well this job is for you. DO NOT,I REPEAT DO NOT DISAGREE WITH UPPER MANAGEMENT, you could find yourself on a very short leash. They don't care..This could be a good company but its apparent upper management not going to let this happen.

Typical day at work will include either doing all of the work meant for the group, or none of it depending on what kind of worker you are. Management is unhelpful and "hands off" so if you're a hard worker you will end up pulling the weight of others and if you talk to management or supervisors about it, they will tell your coworkers what you said. You then will be group bullied like I was for most of the year that I worked there. Management will do nothing about that either and then will believe the lies your bullies tell them because it's easier than actually doing their job. HR is only in Texas so good luck getting help. I wish I would have left this place sooner. It sucks the happiness out of your life. Pay and benefits are great, but it's not worth the bad culture. They will tell you they're not short staffed they're hiring for growth but they are short staffed and your work load will reflect it.

The management team outside of engineering needs to go. It has become a toxic environment to work in, which starts with management playing favorites and only being around if something bad happens. Training is practically non-existent, and any type of continuous improvement training does not happen. Depending on which machine/shift you are thrown on, the work/life balance they talk soo much about is not accurate. They have let go of qualified individuals for petty things, but keep people that have caused division within departments, falsified documentation, and willingly discriminate against people in the facility. You will be lied to. You will be forced to pick sides. You will be judged. 

Most likely, the review that gives the Wooster facility 5 stars is someone in management, or someone brand new that doesn't know any better.

Work was technical repair and service work on night shift.
Learned a lot about an automated aseptic packaging plant.
Management was new to the business, but most capable in role.
Favoritism ran deep from owner through rank & file employees.
People got along, worked together, mostly good actors. Have to 
watch what you say negatively, or you will be given 30 days 
to look for other employment to find a job that suits you better.
Hardest part was working nights on a 2 man crew expected to
support operations as the 8 people on days did.
Plant was state of the art modern Control Logics, and learned a
lot about the PLC's, networking, addressing. Modified some
VRT material handling equipment to perform better.
