Pros

Owned by family farmers, 70 strong

Cons

Is the Board aware of what is going on with the company? About half of the Marketing and Innovation team are no longer with the company. Good people are leaving because they no longer believe in the company. The Leadership team is living in a fog pretending everything is ok. IT IS NOT. Please Ocean Spray Board, take some action. This place is falling apart.

Thank you, as you have raised one of the wonderfully unique aspects of working for a cooperative: doing what we do every day for 700 family-farmers. The board is also made up of those farmer-owners, and they care passionately about, and have faith in, the success of this coop, the long-term strategy and leadership, and our new approach to how we are organized and primed for a new era at Ocean Spray.

My team was great to work with.

Cons

Unorganized, production and other staff ruin the schedule to cause issues for others. No help is given when asked
