Danish Crown Reviews 14

DANISH CROWN HAARLEM (Netherlands).
I will never fully recover from my time at that workplace. It was, without exaggeration, the worst professional environment I have ever encountered.
The vast majority of employees (approximately 95%) were Polish temporary workers who did not speak either English or Dutch. Communication was nearly impossible. When conflicts arose, many of them would shout at colleagues in Polish, leaving those who didn’t understand the language completely defenceless and unable to respond or protect themselves.
The atmosphere was extremely hostile and aggressive. I personally witnessed and experienced repeated verbal abuse, as well as physical aggression. On one occasion, a colleague was deliberately pushed down the stairs in what appeared to be a racially motivated attack (the victim was Black). Police were called to the building at least four times a week during my time there.
Working conditions were inhumane. The temperature in the regular departments was around 5 °C, in other sections approximately 3 °C, and in the freezer it reached −35 °C. In the expedition department, where I was placed, no proper training or instructions were provided. I was expected to figure out complex processes entirely on my own, under constant pressure and in freezing conditions.
Through the agency, many workers (though not myself) were forced to work seven days a week, often on double shifts of up to 18 hours a day. The combination of extreme cold, aggression, isolation due to the language barrier, and lack of support pushed me to the brink of burnout. In the end, I felt I had no choice but to leave as quickly as possible.
I strongly advise anyone considering a job there to stay away. That place is not merely difficult—it is dangerous for both physical and mental health.

This place! Danish crown ( Haarlem)
Horrible, coworker drama, coworker aggressive verbal and fiscal ( more fiscal than verbal) Extremely cold work environment, and they don't give you warm clothes, I would call the clothes they give toilet paper! Every day cried that I had to work in that place, most people didn't speak English or Dutch, so every time they spoke in Polish to me, I couldn't talk back or give a reasonable answer, even the supervisor of my ex-team (but she is a very good person, and very kind and caring) but still she couldn't speak English and try to protect me, is the very depressive place to work, unless you speak polish and then is okay, but even that I suggest to polish people to learn English or dutch and run away as soon as possible because most of the people I worked with they are just aggressive as Doberman.
Just run unless you like those types of places.
Avoid this place!
