Pros

Coworkers are smart, friendly, driven. Beautiful campus. Have pride in working for the growers.

Cons

the board of directors needs to change. The board terminated the only VPs who care about this company and offered moral/ethical/thoughtful guidance. Senior leadership and the board are a bunch of old dudes with no understanding of the consumer, or the employees.

Bad to Worse

Pros

Similar to all reviews, working for family farmers and the people

Cons

In Feb 2018, the consensus was it couldn't get worse. But now it has. The main strategy now seems to be replacing employees. How about replacing Leadership?

Thank you for your thoughts. Where we have to disagree strongly is with this characterization of our strategy. As we have shared consistently and clearly, we have a robust long-range strategy in place, designed to grow our business and transform to ensure our long-term success—all for the benefit of our farmer-owners. And for our colleagues’ benefit as well. We are one team, and it will take all of us to continue our journey—we have some of the best and brightest here at Ocean Spray and are excited about our future. We encourage you to be part of it, and share your thoughts at our forums, with our leaders and with your team.

Total disconnect between plants and corporate.

Pros

Benefits, pay structure, working for a cooperative.

Cons

No bonuses or increases last year and not expected this year. Morale is terrible. Disheartening when you hear all the ridiculousness coming out of corporate at a time when we are struggling to keep our head above water- employees at corporate focused on half days in summer, bringing their dogs to work, pawternity leave, getting massages and manicures during work hours should find a different place to work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Part of building our culture, transforming our cooperative and being successful in the long-term includes the basics, like executing on our critical goals, while also thinking differently about our business and how we operate. Empowerment and engagement are also so important, as our colleagues are the ones leading what we know is a bright and exciting future at Ocean Spray.
