Pros

You will get to work with nice people....until they are let go due to cuts

Cons

Dying company positioning themselves to be bankrupt or bought out. Sooooo many jobs have been lost as they have failed to reinvent products that consumers want. The only savings the company has made to attempt to be in the black are the cut positions. IT is outsourced and HR soon will be. Many other departments have lost 80-90% of their positions. Business finance 101 teaches you that a company cannot be saved by eliminating positions. If you work for OSC currently, you’d better be looking for another job. If you are looking at a job with ocean spray, keep looking elsewhere.

Pros

Ocean Spray has been given a new life and direction, with new leadership that are people first and passionate about turning around a declining category with innovation.

Cons

Going through a change like this is really hard for the company as it’s never been done before at this scale. The reviews show the pain of people leaving, but I know the people that are here are super passionate, excited to go on this journey.

Pros

The benefits are absolutely amazing and the pay is great too. There’s an awesome Work/Life balance.

Cons

They are very stuck in their ways. I just watched an extremely good employee I got hired with get fired because she didn’t fit in with the clique they had created. Investigated her without even asking her version of things.

In July, Ocean Spray announced the final phase of its tech-led transformation, which will modernize our business and make it more flexible, as well as create more meaningful and strategic roles to deliver on our goals and growth strategy. Unfortunately, with that change, some of our colleagues will be transitioning out of our cooperative. We recognize the range of emotions this announcement caused, as demonstrated by these recent posts. We hope you will come speak with us about your feelings rather than post online-- we are here to help. We are confident this is the right business decision, both for our Farmer-Owners and for the health and growth of the business. Our goal has and will remain to treat any impacted colleagues with respect, provide them with assistance and transitional benefits, and also take care of our team as we move forward together. Our business strategy is working, we delivered on our commitments this year, and we are proud of the accomplishments all of our have colleagues worked so hard for. We remain excited and ready for the future.
