Pros

Similar to all reviews, working for family farmers and the people

Cons

In Feb 2018, the consensus was it couldn't get worse. But now it has. The main strategy now seems to be replacing employees. How about replacing Leadership?

Thank you for your thoughts. Where we have to disagree strongly is with this characterization of our strategy. As we have shared consistently and clearly, we have a robust long-range strategy in place, designed to grow our business and transform to ensure our long-term success—all for the benefit of our farmer-owners. And for our colleagues’ benefit as well. We are one team, and it will take all of us to continue our journey—we have some of the best and brightest here at Ocean Spray and are excited about our future. We encourage you to be part of it, and share your thoughts at our forums, with our leaders and with your team.

My team was great to work with.
