Positive Reviews From Thistle Employees

  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    Felt like a no pressure interview, which was wonderful
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    A great atmosphere each time
  • What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
    Just a great atmosphere, all of it...from the other drivers, to the prep kitchen to the logistics and management team upstairs...all awesome

Constructive Feedback From Thistle Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    This company is garbage and takes advantage of drivers so that they can deliver their crappy food
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Pay is pretty consistently below market. Yes, Thistle is a startup, but the only way to grow is to invest in your people. Similar roles to mine elsewhere make 25-30k more annually on average, with a better defined bonus structure.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    This company should go to hell
