Pros

- Amazing benefits - 401k match -Nice offices

Cons

If Ocean Spray were publicly traded, its stock would be tanking. All of the random downsizing moves and outsourcing of jobs in the past few months has provided no clear benefit. All the disruption would be heavily scrutinized in wall street. The board is oblivious of how the environment has changed from amazing to a toxic hostile place that makes you feel uncomfortable, unappreciated, or undervalued. There is high level aspirations during town hall meetings... a lot of talk the talk but no walk the walk. A lot of times, leadership themselves don't know how to walk the walk. A lighthouse is needed indeed.

Thank you for commenting, but your view of our change and business approach is unfortunate and inaccurate. “Random” or “no clear benefit” could not be further from our what our cooperative’s transformation is all about—it is strategic, aimed at future growth, and a long-term plan to ensure our farmer-owners see the returns they deserve. And its working. A lighthouse is a beacon, and our Lighthouse Office will be our Innovation hub, one of the key pillars to our success. We’re excited and ready for the future.

My team was great to work with.
