Darragh Company

Working here is challenging, and not in a good way. Mgmt presses you to get orders out quickly, but implements one thing after another to slow the process down. Then you're wrong when it takes longer than it used to. When all along the prev. ways were quicker & more efficient. Example- Removing a pickup delivery truck from the fleet (used to deliver smaller items) & now told use a 27 ft. flatbed diesel truck to deliver a single box of screws.. Upper Mgmt does not use feedback to improve processes. Positions are eliminated regularly w/o warning. Terminations for simple infractions happen w/o prev write-ups. Health Insurance is HIGH. No bereavement pay (you can have 3 days off but w/o pay). You will be expected to do ALOT outside of your job description. In the yr that I was here, not a single person got a raise. Even new employees who passed their 90 days even after i advocated for reviews to be done MULTIPLE times. No structure for performance reviews/ raises, even on a yearly level. The main software system used looks & runs like something from Windows '95. Constant hang-ups, downtime & half communicates to other systems like it should. No advancement unless you're in the "in-crowd". Outside Sales (majority of sales made) doesn't SALE anything. No aggression. They take orders from already existing/ established customers. In the time I was employed, I can count on 1 hand how many NEW customers were setup. I don't recommend working here for too long. Treat it as temporary while looking for something better/ more stable. 

I took a pay cut to get this job because I've always wanted to be in this field. The problem is there is no communication and I haven't really learned much in the year that I've been here. I was told I would be trained but everyone is "too busy" to help. Now I sit lost and confused, wishing I had my old restaurant job back. I've barely learned anything and don't see any way for advancement.

The computer program they use to search for on hand products and check out customers is not user friendly and takes months of learning and training. If you make a mistake it will require a supervisors override to fix it and this is not ideal during busy hours. Management is very new and doesn’t know what they are doing. Upper management is very strict when they are there. Upper salesman come by every once and a while and they are stuck up and think they are better than everyone else. 

What is the best part of working at the company?

Upper management poor feed back to employees 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad all around service no set time for another assignment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard work from start to finish

I called on dairy farms on a daily basis.  Many once per week selling pelletized dairy feed for the milking cattle and heifers.

As the dairy business declined in Arkansas the sales.  There is only a handful of those customers still in business.

Used to be a great place to work, family oriented, good hard work, and really felt like a place to build a career. Now it’s full of corporate d-wads that care nothing for their employees. Everyone is just a number now. If you’re making too much money, don’t expect to have a job for long. They’ll fire you at the drop of a hat with no coaching, no write up, no warning. 

I worked with them for 19 years, they were supportive, and offered various training.  benefits, and pay were good.

Management was kind, and understanding if personal time off was needed.  insurance was good, and vacation time was good.

Family owned company but treats all employees like part of the family.  Lots of great people and culture and environment is friendly and welcoming.  Communication can be a little lacking but overall the job gets done.

Work-life balance
Great environment, great co workers

Pay & benefits
Not the best but not the worst

Overall
Grateful to be here. Look forward to many more years. Corp is very people orientated and friendly. Always willing to help when needed. I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon for sure.

Work/life balance is amazing, supervisors are easy to speak with.  It's construction related, so environmental factors can work against you, but over all the people are amazing to work with.
