"Great at one time - but displaying consistent decline. New leadership and Bankruptcy has changed the company through the years. Many many amazing staff and vendors. Currently in a buy out stage by a competitor."

"Dean Foods has been a struggling company for the past few years. They have eliminated a lot of good talent and positions. They make decisions for individual dairies on a national level, not a local level and it ends up hurting the local facility."

"This company is one of the worse I have ever worked at. The management team is very unprofessional and have no leadership skills. They thrive on gossip and never give feedback on work performance. They have a buddy system in place and they treat the contractors like a doormat. They have supervisors who spread the personal information of employees. They allow cursing and disrespect among team members. The training is horrible and after being in that hell hole for 6 months I was let go with no warning and given no real reason. I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a stable work environment with great management. The entire management team is horrible."

"Office personnel are very hostile. Impossible to train in the atmosphere created by the personnel. My trainer was irritable, impatient and so controlling she would not allow me to learn her job. She wants to be irreplaceable. Huge Ego. Supervisors ignored training process as they don't even know how to do the job either. Not an experience I ever want to have again!! No teamwork."
