Pros

Had some great employee perks such as a cafe, van pool, casual dress, great people, gym, and access to company supplied milk, cheese, etc.

Cons

There is a major middle management problem, especially in Quality, Research, and Development, and much of it is enabled by the COO as she directly protects most of the incompetent managers. OV often opts to hire someone less qualified for less money rather than investing in someone great for a position who could make a positive change for the company. The company is located in rural areas requiring a long commute if you want to live in a more populated area and pay is often $10,000 or more below industry standard annually.

Pros

The mission is amazing and they work hard for the farmers.

Cons

The inconsistencies in management style, rules and atmosphere really made it hard to be comfortable here. The hypocrisy is rampant. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. It's in the middle of no where. The vanpool is ok but it's expensive to drive yourself.

Pros

Caring for the farmers, every employee plays a part in this. The farmers are real people, real families. Original mission is/was real and genuine! Working for a co-op rocks.

Cons

New leadership talks go and treats farmers like they are idiots, telling them very little truth of what’s going on, entire executive team is new and came straight out of the commodity markets. Literally have no clue what our farmers do and have no care to run the business with mission, it’s all about profits now. No growth opportunities, only want people from big food companies.
