Chicago, IL

Current Employee – been working at Corner Bakery full-time for more than 3 years

ProsCorner 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.

ConsClosing 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 ManagementBe 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

ProsSteady job, if you have an opening shift you can still have an afternoon open for family and friends. Good food and decent benefits.

Conslong 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 ManagementIf 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.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

ProsLearn a lot, Great experiences, no late hours. Very responsive upper management. Highly demanding, but if you put up with the ridiculous demands and requests of you, there is opportunities abound.

Madison, MS

Former Employee – worked at Corner Bakery part-time for less than a year

ProsYou 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.

ConsThe managers often micro-managed, which is very annoying, it seems as though you have to work there forever for promotions.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop 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
