Pros

The best part of Ocean Spray is the way your co-workers (hourly employees) feel like a family.

Cons

"Senior Leadership Team" is a joke at the corporate and plant level. There are people running machines who are not qualified on them and/or have been disqualified on them. The system of job bidding has disappeared and management just plugs people in wherever. Morale is low and no one cares. Supervision thinks they know it all and do not listen to the operators. Supervisors act like they care about you, but in reality they just want you to hit target so they can get their precious bonus. Several hourly employees have left over the last couple of years, and when you see them in public and talk to them, every single one of them says they are happier and feel like dead weight has been lifted off of their shoulders.
