The Doughnut Peddler, LLC.

If you are looking for work here, dont. Look elsewhere. They wont care about you or your well-being, especially if you have a family. All they are looking for are bodies because they cant keep anyone. They are very political, unbalanced, and wont listen to their employees.

Their equipment stays broken down and they are quick to put the blame on you if anything goes wrong. It doesnt matter if you are on sanitation, production, or a driver, they feel they can do whatever they want as long as you are getting a paycheck and they have horrible benefits. 

As a driver, their cameras goes off on every little thing you do which can get you fired faster than it took to get in. Clients and DC are always complaining and none of them understands how transportation work. You wont have time to care about yourself while you are out there and if your health fails, you are useless. Avoid this place, or risk regretting it months later.

Fantastic job opportunity for people who enjoy working at night with minimal supervision.  A typical day includes loading a van with hundreds of pastries to be delivered on a set route that can last anywhere from 8-12 hours covering, in my case, roughly 300 miles+ nightly.  Management was generally hands off, so long as you meet the requirements of the job.  Co-workers interaction tended to be minimal.  The hardest part of the job was moving quickly.  Fast = more money.  Occasionally you have to deal with people who can be rude and demanding of product or their expectations.  Free donuts for the driver, however, you collect all used products and have to deny people the discards.  The company at the time was very family ran and allowed for family/friend to travel on the route with driver.  This was fantastic, because you do not have much time to spend with your family as you sleep during the day.  Also advancement is rare.  The employer did care about the employees, however, no benefits.

Typical day, your route is not ready and can’t find everything you need. Vehicle given is unsafe and has numerous safety issues.
Management is a joke, makes up new policies and expects you to sign off on them, rules change too often. Can’t answer simple questions, you should know the answer.
Culture, all vehicles have a camera that records everything you do, don’t swear you will be terminated. If you get frustrated and yell in your truck you get reprimanded, no drinking water it’s not safe.
Hardest part is if you leave late because they messed up you better be done on time or you can and will be terminated.
Most enjoyable part of the job is not working there anymore.
Don’t have a family emergency, they will try to make you still come in and work.
Adds more and more work but won’t raise route pay.

I can't speak for workers at the bakery but I personally think this is one of the better little experience necessary jobs you can get (Only a good drivers license is needed). You show up at 5 to load your doughnuts in your truck, deliver to 25 to 35 stops counting the old doughnuts and putting the new ones in. Once you're finished you gas up, unload your empty baskets and go home. I'm personally home by midnight. You don't get paid by the hour but by the route size and volume. I average 22 an hour because after you know your route like the back of your hand you start getting off earlier and earlier but still get the same pay. I like that I'm alone managing my own route being my own boss and to chit chat with various clerks across town. 

The current climate seems much different than what I have read (in past reviews, etc.) I was surprised to find the current drive and change in culture is quite positive, especially in pay and benefits. The support is there when needed, and the focus from the top is to better an already good company. The challenges are nothing different than what you might find in any company that delivers fresh product on a daily basis. What I find most enjoyable is that we make a great product (better than our competitors in my opinion) so for me it is a good feeling to make a product that you can stand behind, a rewarding indulgent doughnut! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only think that you can count on at the company is that they do pay on time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working at the company is the ever increasing products to be delivered and the lack of sufficient pay increase.  Also, you basically need to drive their trucks like an autonomous robot in order to avoid being written up for driving infractions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is ok.  You are working mostly alone.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involves simply loading the truck and delivering the product.

You are assigned TDP uniforms and must wear slip resistance boots. Must place on safety garments, hairnets and aprons. Before you enter the work, hand washing and sanitizing practices are done. Entering the work zone you will work with a team no matter what station you go to. 
You will be given a total of an hour to break. 
You will enjoy the people there and race is diverse.  
You will learn the necessary skills to complete your job and there is crosswork training. Which equals to higher pay rates, raises.
And you can take a box home daily, if you like. 


A typical workday involves being worked like a dog, I believed I learned that favoritism is a big thing in this company.
Management is a joke; you have to be a kiss up/teacher's pet to get anywhere.
The hardest part of the job is dealing with the DMM and his pets.
There was nothing enjoyable about working there unfortunately.
I would of given zero stars for job security but it doesn't allow that.
I have nothing nice to say
The trucks are UNSAFE.
Old trucks that break down. It’s good pay but the amount of work they give you is under pay. No pay holidays even though you work the holidays. Try to call out for an emergency and they try to make you come in for work and try to scare you on firing you.


Worked here for a few years and got along well with a few members of the founding family. Unfortunately, the company was sold off years later and everyone I knew at the company is no longer there. I enjoyed my time working here and was able to work my way up, but I didn’t get along particularly well with the new management and the pay was always very underwhelming. New management would rather replace you than provide a pay bump. I was able to leave the company amicably though and they gave me plenty of time to transition out, which I really appreciated. It was a great learning experience and I overall enjoyed my time working here, just wish it paid better.

I worked directly with the CEO and could not have asked for a more capable and compassionate leader. I've heard TDP described as having a 30-year-old startup vibe, and I would say that is accurate. I was given ample opportunity to start my own projects, pitch in new ideas, and affect the direction of the company in small ways. I had guidance, but was given plenty of flexibility. I very much enjoyed all of the people I worked with here - from the bakery workers to the drivers to the corporate teams. This is a great company to work for if you want ownership over your work and the chance to make a meaningful impact.
