Work is easy & fast paced busywork, but they're constantly either overstaffed or understaffed most of the time.

There is very little training or direction from middle management. Get used to asking around for instructions or where things are. Once you've gotten the hang of things, expect to constantly explain everything to temp workers.

For the most part, the company used to be good, but it's gone downhill. They pretend to care about their employees, but many issues/complaints get dismissed or ignored by HR. Lots of unkept promises from HR & Management. Some company policies aren't even enforced.

The Supervisors & Team Leads are a hit or miss. If they don't like you, you will know. They also like to pass off their responsibilities to others while they hang out in another departments or with their friends.

There are real no advancements here unless someone leaves. Most that want to go up in the company, are trapped in training for months doing more work than others, but still getting paid the same base wage. Many long term workers end up leaving because of this.

In general, the Company is focused on getting things done at any cost. You can never turn it off. If you are a caregiver, look the other way. For a Company whose mission is to keep everyone healthy, they don’t really care about their employees’ mental health. The management’s focus is not your health, but being profitable. Don’t be fooled by the unlimited PTO and First Fridays off (for exempt employees). That means nothing since the expectation is to do the work at any cost. Additionally, there is no investment in system or people. Everything is very manual!!

With that said, even as hard as you work,  very few get year-end living adjustment  and only senior management gets meaningful bonuses.

Don’t be fooled by their mission. Your day to day doesn’t REFLECT that. 


The company is great about letting workers work remotely. They even recently started letting us off for major holidays.

The negative parts would be that the communication just isn't great, and connection to people is harder especially when you work remotely which is why I feel like there was favoritism on my team for those that worked in the office with management. My manager was very sweet and flexible, but not the greatest leader and not very flexible. When I was let go she actually stepped down into my position about 2 weeks later which was very odd to me especially after telling me for months and showcasing in the team meetings that I was doing amazing.

I think the company gives the customers way too much and it isn't sustainable. The customer's can almost get away with anything and it makes your work feel pointless. It turns it into "just here for a check" very quickly.

Thistle is a startup and every startup has it's pro's and con's.
Pro's:
Determined individuals have a lot of opportunity to grow and expand their skills and talents they bring with them to Thistle. As well as an opportunity to learn and develop new skills.

The change to get in on the ground floor of a promising, young company and help guide it to success.

Working with like minded people that care about health, nutrition and serving people food that is sustainably sourced, designed with a nutritional focus.

Con's:
Being a young startup means wages are generally below market value. 
Departmental budgets are hard fought and tend to run very lean. This could also be a con as it teaches you to work within a strict budget.
An ever changing/evolving operational structure due to rapid grown spurts.

Thistle was originally a great company to work for as there were many shifts to take and wages were good at $22 an hour however they have recently changed it to $17 and hour, a 5 dollar difference when the managers work everyone at a fast pace in an absolutely bone chillingly cold freezer and they have not only removed but canceled workers shifts for October when many people are so close to the $1000 bonus for completing 15 shifts within 30 days. I believe the reason why the shifts were removed is most likely one of the lady managers didnt want us to receive the bonus and cancelled our shifts. The managers are very threatening always saying they will send someone home yet the managers dont seem to do anything themselves.

Managers and supervisor not much present on the job site specifically during critical moments when routes going out to different hubs locations, if some truck drivers don't show up no one available to take responsibility, give directions or call the shots during this critical moments, call management or supervisors for help no one is available, no answer or response. Supervisors and management are not hands on at the job site to manage workers and the work flow and the upper managements are running the show several 100 miles away and seldom ever at the job site, they prefer working off job site behind the scenes. The company thinks everything is running smooth and in order and occupied in marketing and promoting the business as the best place to work not knowing the reality 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Healthy eating when possible.  Some times you are allowed to take home salads or other left over products.

Racing against time to get salads made in  limited amount of time due to shelf life and ingredients not being available.

They will use you like amazon does.  They treat you like you are a number and not a person.  No matter how much you suffer for the company, they always have the mind set of "what have you done for me lately".

huddle up to start then 8 hours in a cold box doing the same task over and over until the end.

I love doing delivery driving at Thistle. I love driving when there's no traffic at night, the pay is quite decent, with the caveat of hours being fairly limited, and they are extremely flexible in working around my acting gigs and needing to be in different parts of SoCal. Sure, I have a few small complaints here and there, but over all I really enjoy it and actually enjoy working--I get paid to drive around at night listening to cool weird indie college radio stations!
