Current Employee – been working at Corner Bakery full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Corner Bakery gives you the opportunity to expand your skills beyond the position you were first hired for so that you can be more flexible in your work ethics and the duties you perform.
Cons – Closing and cleaning at the end of the day takes a lot of work and starts from the beginning of your shift to the end of your shift.
Advice to Senior Management – Be more willing to hear employees thoughts or concerns and treat them respectfully and professionally.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Corner Bakery full-time
Pros – Steady job, if you have an opening shift you can still have an afternoon open for family and friends. Good food and decent benefits.
Cons – long days 11+ hours every shift. No quality of life. Upper management (RD and up) don't care about your family or personal life.
Advice to Senior Management – If people are truly the base of your brand pyramid start acting like it. Start recognizing and rewarding people for their hard work and dedication. Motivating by telling people how bad they are doesn't work.

Former Employee – worked at Corner Bakery part-time for less than a year
Pros – You get free drinks, half off food, even when you bring your family on off days. Since I was hired for a new store opening, I received great training. The hours go by fast if you work with a great crew. Most of the customers were awesome to interact with.
Cons – The managers often micro-managed, which is very annoying, it seems as though you have to work there forever for promotions.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop the micro-managing and let people do their jobs. Have a clear career path for moving up in the company.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
