Dale-Farm

My job entails visiting dairy farms when the cows are being milked and taking a sample of milk from each cow. Herds are 'recorded' on average morning and evening once a month. The number of herds you do is directly related to your attitude and ability to record details accurately. I've been working for Dale farm for 10 years now and have loved every minute.  I have an excellent relationship with my boss and have always found my role fully supported by office management. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend dale farm as an employer provided you are prepared to work hard. Although there are few opportunities for advancement with this role if you are consistent and conscientious you will be appreciated.

When working at Dale farm for about a year, i was working the evening shift from 14.00 to 22.00, sometimes weekends too. I got my brother to give me lifts to and from work, he worked on the same shift as me, i was working through a recruitment agency, i enjoyed it we made grated cheese, sometimes i would be inside but most times outside packing the bags of cheese in the box's. I left because the contract ended.

work by the employment agency, work on the phone (you wait until you get a message) even at late hours, insolvent job agency, problems with holidays do not want to pay for them, do not send payslips to employees, they lose pay for holidays, irresponsible people in the agency, ignoring employees and their needs,

Managers don't have a clue what they are doing, dangerous environment acid and steam with no health and safety. Workers all good but too top heavy of a company too many managers with big egos to fill. Managers seem to progress only by backstabbing. Too many agency workers travelling there to be told they aren't needed that day and to just go home again

my day starts with default checks on a lorry to make sure it is road worthy ,driving onto a loading bay to be loaded paperwork in order to plan the route for that day, to but load in order for the run checking load is correct and secure, in order that  no damage occurs setting  out to deliver goods to customer punctually with good customer service.

Was here for 3 Years and honestly believe they were wasted years.  Senior leaders were rude and aloof. The culture is quite unlike anything I'd encountered before - very unpleasant...
I can honestly say I learned nothing of any value for the future.
It's only when you leave that you truly realize what an awful company it really is...

Was with the team for a long time but the Senior Procurement manager changed.  Team environment changed completely and the full team moved on within a few months.  Other than that, i would still be there as would the rest of the team

Good pay if you are actually working for Dale Farm,beware the recruitment agencies or one in particular that deals with this place,no guaranted hours,phoning you at all times yet when you want a day off its like you have murdered someone,and all.this of the minimum wage,factories have sold the locals down the river big time, avoid....

It was a very good place to work and close to home but after my wife and I had kids the shift pattern didn't work for me especially evening /night shift

Very stressfull days , day in day out, no work life balance, 24/7 policy, whip systems of management. Poor facilities compared to other places in the group (wrexham).
