Pros
The pay and benefits are good, and the people I worked with day-to-day were all hard-working and nice.
Cons
This word gets thrown around a lot, but there’s no way to describe Bakery’s culture other than “toxic.” When I joined, I was told to ignore the negative Glassdoor reviews; the leadership team said that the agency had some problems in the past, but they were moving forward. I found this to be far from the case. Favoritism is rampant, organization is non-existent (miraculously, the entire agency is run through Slack), and the leadership team is certainly less than transparent. In nearly every project I was on here, me and my team were working round-the-clock, pulling late nights and working on weekends. I’ve never been pushed harder in my professional life, and yet I felt completely dissatisfied — mainly because the direction of nearly every project I worked on was dictated by the higher-ups, with little room for others to advocate for their own ideas. Also, while the owner is well-intentioned, he would often act in a way that would make me feel very uncomfortable (for example, he ranked all of the employees’ significant others by order of how much he liked them after our Xmas party). While this behavior bothered several of my co-workers as well, everyone was too afraid to speak up. I wouldn’t recommend this agency to anyone.
