Pros

Weekends off and you if you go to google you get access to the cafeterias and game room.

Cons

Management is very loose. Things change a lot and management likes to hide from employees. Management is rarely onsite with the food trucks so employees tend to just go home after there shift even if they need to speak with management. Also, they will fire you for anything once they have the idea you need to be fired. I've seen it done at least 4 times since I've been there. If your a good employee you can break the rules with no issue but again once you've been marked as a bad employee they will fire you for anything they can. If your management your job is secure, the food truck workers will be replaced the minute you aren't helpful or if you complain too much you will be terminated. I've seen management abuse there company cards and bend the rules when it helps them. Awful work culture its workers vs management.

Off the Grid Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience working at Off the Grid. I’m sorry that we didn’t do a better job of caring for you as an employee while you were with the company. While you mention the benefits of the working hours with our culinary program, the fact that you describe management as being unavailable is deeply troubling to me. While we’ve recently hired many strong managers to help address gaps in accountability like the ones you describe, we also understand that we’re rapidly growing and we’ll need to keep improving. As a result, we want to give each employee the opportunity to communicate concerns they see regularly to our Employee Experience team and Executive leadership. This is the reason why we’ve initiated quarterly town halls and engagement surveys to quickly tackle emerging problems and report progress directly to employees. Thank you for the 3 years you spent at OTG caring for our guests and communities by making delicious food. I’d be happy to continue the conversation and learn more about your experience if you email me at matt@offthegrid.com.
