Ocean Spray reviews

Thank you for sharing your view. It can be hard when folks, especially in a supervisory position, are not fully engaged in a company’s transformation—culturally we are working to change that and appreciate your honesty. Communication is not just “for show.” It is a foundational element of how we operate: with honesty, with transparency and with many opportunities to have dialogue with each other and with leadership—forums, engagement surveys, department meetings, technology advancements and more. Staying connected and engaged is how we stay on strategy and on a successful path. Success also takes talent—creating “bench strength” is a must for any company, and a top priority for Ocean Spray that we achieve through a variety of career development programs and opportunities.

Thanks for commenting. We couldn’t agree with you more—food is culture, love, joy and so many other things—including medicine for the soul. What we need to reframe here is that “food is medicine” is not a strategy, it’s a part of our destination as a cooperative—a way of thinking differently, diversifying our portfolio of products, and connecting our farms (and those incredible berries we love) to families for a better life. The Lighthouse™ -- Ocean Spray’s marketing and innovation hub in Boston-- is an important component of our new approach to innovation, marketing, product development, and partnerships with like-minded leaders in the industry. Our business is not in crisis, its in transformation, so we understand that stretching and changing can feel hard sometimes. But know we are on a successful path, one that is already (please pardon the pun) bearing fruit now and for the future.
