Management is either incompetent/lost. All they really do is source products from local vendors and or Molly Stones (similar to Trader Joe's)..yes, compensate with store bought items. Running around like chickens with head cut off. Competition is pretty stiff with what they do in the niche, organics delivery business model. They won't invest in a fleet of vehicles rather rely on independent contractors (using own vehicles) which are problematic aka IC Concept. It's a novel idea with a short life span in the ever changing market for "app based" home deliveries. I'd surmise everyone in management/owners  have a degree with the usual desire to design some app based services here in the Silicon Valley. It's not as simple as it seems as many have tried and failed. Some even hired chefs to "package" meals; which is probably what this business is leaning towards. Too many problems and few rewards not to mention ever expanding overhead ops expenses to be profitable in the long run. Their funding isn't infinite as a start up either; so the pressures of delivering measurable results is that more important and subordinates are going to get hammered.

Terrible work environment, toxic culture. Manager does not care about its workforce, and the upper management runs away when employee raises concern. It used to be great when it was in downtown San Francisco, and everything went south since the move to the Peninsula. The new head of operations was rude and not willing to work with the employees. 

There is never a dull moment and every day is unique. We are always evaluating our processes and improving them. Lots of great people to work with. Opportunities for your contributions to have an immediate and significant impact. 

Upper management when around showed a lack of people skills and respect for those that keep their company running. Lack of direction and training of staff.  Warehouse was poorly taken care of.
With that said, there are some very good employees there that care more than they should about  being there.

Good people and place, but not much in ways of challenges or advancement for manger level employees. Felt that most days I was there I was tasked with insignificant duties that did not challenge me or keep me motivated. The staff is great and the food is great but hard to stay motivated in this environment.

It’s okay, but very tedious. Management seems scattered brained at times. They keep cutting employee benefits, but want more work. No one has gotten a raise and if you work over night you don’t get differential pay. 

I would have to take responsibilities for others that had different job titles and got paid more than I did so I would be over worked and under paid was my reason for leaving

No concern for employees. Only look at what they can get from the operations team to make a profit. The founders who are trying to run the company are out of touch. 

A typical day there is hot and dirty environment,The manager never liked me and he messed around with the female coworkers , or he flirts with them...

It's very accurate  pull a lot of orders during a two open windows period  so you have to move fast able to lift all the time it's work around the clock
