Good old boy system - Manager Tillamook County Creamery Association Employee Review

Overall good culture and benefits

Location is not ideal, but a good company

- Leadership saw many of the inefficiencies and system gaps — there was genuine interest in improving things, even if the follow-through was slower than needed. - My manager was supportive, appreciative, and relied on me in meaningful ways. - The people were kind, hardworking, and sincerely cared about doing things well. - I always felt included and respected, even as a contractor.

- Even though problems were recognized, I wasn’t given the go-ahead to actually implement new systems or resolve the inefficiencies affecting the team. - Management was waiting for larger organizational clarity about the future direction and function of this department, and during that waiting period the team’s day-to-day experience suffered. - Most requests came in through email with no centralized system, which made it difficult to track, prioritize, or delegate work effectively. - Documentation was inconsistent or missing, so knowledge often lived in people’s heads rather than in shared processes. - The delay in addressing long-standing operational issues contributed to burnout and turnover.
