what’s it like
to work at taste?

From your first day, we work to cultivate a great workplace culture that enables our team members to provide a great experience for our guests. Our Orientation Video provides an introduction to who we are as a company, the behavior we expect at work, and important resources for your success. Soon after, you’ll attend a Good Life Tour which delves into TASTE’s history and culture and includes an onsite tour of TASTE HQ, led by the Executive team. It’s a fast, fun, and extremely engaging session, complete with snacks and prizes.
Here at The TASTE Family of Businesses, we have an Open Door Policy of communication - meaning we believe that transparency is ultimately beneficial to all. Our monthly bulletin is distributed to all team members and includes relevant information, birthdays, announcements and more.
Company get-togethers, like our annual Tides game outing and ADP Corporate 5k, are always major highlights that boost our community. All team members are encouraged to participate.
A wide range of celebratory traditions foster a spirit of togetherness. Team members receive special recognition and gifts for work anniversaries. Five different awards are given annually to outstanding team members. TASTE team members receive a surprise perk on Employee Appreciation Day. Around the holidays, extra-fun holiday spirit lifters make their way to all locations. We also encourage team members to celebrate various holidays via Spirit Weeks, like Pride Week, when team members proudly donned rainbow colors; Memorial Day Weekend, when Hawaiian shirts became the uniform; and NFL Spirit Week, when football jerseys were allowed.
As a part of our mission To Cultivate Community Through The Good Life, we encourage all team members to volunteer in the community in any way they see fit. A company benefit we are proud of is VTO - 8 hours of paid time to volunteer. We also organize team volunteering opportunities, like the Clean the Bay Day cleanup and food pantry distribution event.
