Pros

The pastries are delicious, the owner is a really nice guy.

Cons

There’s so many things to be addressed properly. First of all, SUPERVISORS needs leadership training as to people look up at daan go as a good company that has to have inspiring strong leaders. My first day encounter with a supervisor puts so much impression already. She didn’t even introduce herself to me on my first day that you could easily tell that she was not approachable. There wasn’t really a good relationship with managers to begin with. I feel like there’s a strong need of training for management as the level of staff turnover is getting high. It shouldn’t be just managers that can provide feedback to the team but also the right to voice out for employees should be given a benefit of the doubt. I also signed a written agreement as a full time employee but not getting enough hours. I would get shift cancellation with no notice only to find out that the managers has to give way to their favorite staff to work those days that they cancelled on my end. They also have a groupchat on WhatsApp, it was suppose to share helpful information at work but turns out to be the managers way to shame employees that made simple mistakes. Managers have become too oblivious that they do not know how to correct the staff in a manner that they will not feel offended nor shamed. Training are not given properly as they pass it on the regular staff to do the work for them. They also micromanage. One time they called out an employee who was not wearing a hairnet. Meanwhile, their favorite employees got to rock any hairstyles they like. One of the bakers also don’t wear proper uniform, he/she would come in, in short shorts and slippers, yet managers won’t say anything about it regarding work and workplace safety regulations. The practice of favoritism at workplace over time can put a heavy toll on the mental health of the young adults who are just trying their best. Some action needs to be done soon before the company lose its credibility to this industry due to the lack of diligence of the Managers. Please accept this note as a constructive feedback to make the workplace a better environment especially for young individuals who are just starting their careers.

Pros

Discounts on cakes and stuff

Cons

• the work culture is: we do, u observe and follow. • I literally have to tell them I need clear communication, instructions and expectations for me to do my job properly bc it wouldnt come naturally for em.. • grateful that i had different nice and helpful workers to show me how to do my job but learning from some managers was super stressful. I cried myself at night one time 🥲 • zero sense of basic communication skills. Wouldnt even make eye contact or saying hi when i showed up to work (80% of the time). • they said "if something happened to you, come to us, dont gossip" yet once i did, all they did was making JUSTIFICATIONS for their current worker and i didnt feel heard at all • goodluck working there :)

Pros

If you like being public shamed this place is for you

Cons

There’s so many things wrong with this h3ll hole. The most pertinent is the management “team”. Don’t be fooled that they “reward you for hard work” or that “promos are common”- they’ll just give it to their family members who they referred in. Not only that, but the management’s attitude is awful. They expect you to work like you can clone yourself into 5 people- take phone calls, write down orders, decorate cakes, pack them, ring customers out. It’s just plain impossible. Expect to get reprimanded with 0 support from them. They also don’t acknowledge you when they roll up to work which is absolutely amazing. Not one bit of eye contact or simple “hi”. Management team - get off your high horse you’re like making 3 bucks above min wage so chill. Not only that, but they monitor you on their cameras, waiting for you to mess up, then you’ll get a call or text about it. Not only is their extremely uncomfortable, but it creates a huge sense of anxiety. You don’t know when you’re gonna be kicked out for doing something so trivial. First, they don’t acknowledge you, then they bark criticisms at you while observing you like the FBI. The sheer amount of favouritism is insane. While their favourite employees get to show up in short shorts and flip flops, us low runt employees are yelled at for NOT WEARING A HEADBAND !!&$?!? There’s so many things wrong wit this store. Run while you can.
