Dean Foods Company Employer Reviews

A typical day included answering phone calls from primary customers - Wal-Mart Dairy managers. Keying orders into ROS Rams (AS400). Processing dairy orders for production and shipping for Point of Delivery Customers. Management was relaxed and easy to work with as well as co -workers. Not necessarily the hardest part, but the most time consuming was – more...  processing customer credits and settling routes for reconciliation. The most enjoyable part of the job was talking to the customers on a daily basis. They were a wonderful group of people to work with and without the customer the business can not function. – less

Dean Foods is a co-packer for major grocery chains around the U.S., selling commodity (fluid milk). Dean grew by acquisition, and now its massive infrastructure of inefficient facilities threatens to sink this once promising company.

Management expects you to do miracles. Equipment is old and there's a lot of downtime.

I have just begun this role and am in training. My role today involves delivering milk to Arlington schools.

Dean Foods compensates its employees generously, but if your looking for an employer that possesses values and understands the importance of creating a positive work environment this is not the right company for you. You can read countless reviews online from current management that will describe Dean Foods as a GOOD-OLD-BOY outfit and unfortunately – more...  it is true. Everything from the lack of diversity in the workforce(poor HR leadership), to employess being written up and suspended for missing work because of spouses and children being hospitalized for illness. Advice... steer clear of Dean Foods. – less

I injoyed working in a freezer for the first time.The was a lot of room for growth.

Company is going through restructuring. There is too much pressure on cost savings and not enough on retaining and developing talent.
