Dean Foods Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"This is a fantastic company to work for. The benefits are great and the salary is comparable."

"The company is really great and the staff is even better. The safety plan that they have is great. The daily schedule is designed to get things done at a sufficient time. Everything is covered from processing to batching. The cip-sip procedures are great as well."

"I worked at the dairy processing plant in Rochester, IN for less than a year as a maintenance technician. It was not so bad in the first few months, but progressively worsened. I worked 3rd shift with only one other person, although I was informed prior to employment, more would be hired. They are a union and their points system is beyond ridiculous. I loved the work, hated the environment."

"I worked for DF since January 2012. I was a great experience. I learned a lot. The company has close to 65 facilities in the US. I was in charge of supporting 3 plants in the Florida market. The two plants in Central Florida are well aligned with the Lean program. The other Florida plant is moving in the right direction, slowly but steady"
