How employees describe working at Sun Basket
Customer service AND providing organic meals like they CLAIM
Totally incompentent. I changed my addess in the app over a month ago and for the past 4 weeks the deliveries went to my old address. Each time I talked to customer service who said that I would be refunded and that it was fixed. Wrong on both. Dont waste your time or money.
The Organic, fresh, clean ingredients. Delicious sauces. Best I have had.
The website is difficult to navigate and I can't ever see my order history. Also, my produce is rotten or has been frozen and thawed (ruining it completely) over 90% of my deliveries, so I buy produce at the grocery store to supplement, making these meals very expensive.
Mismanaged Company. They will be out of business if nothing changes.

What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Sun Basket?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
senior leadership has no large scale food production experience
That they’d do so little vetting for senior management and allow completely unqualified people negatively effect both production and culture.
That they would onboard failed and unqualified “operations managers” with apparently no background checks on their employment history.
How much diversity is there among employees at Sun Basket?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
A tremendous amount. It’s one of the few positives they currently have going for them.
Both hourly and salaried staff are very divers on the west coast.
How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at Sun Basket?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
For most managers it’s often very hard. The operations managers and GMs seem to have plenty of time away from the facility though.
Anything below the level of operations manager can be very difficult. All lower management than that are often expected to work 10-15 hour days as well as their staff, and be available 24/7. The operations manager and general manager’s reaction to employees and junior to mid-level management working those hours for extended periods of time(weeks to months) is “well, this is production.” They do not participate in such long days. It doesn’t inspire people to follow.
