Pros

Free chocolate! It's a small company so everyone is really friendly and easy to get to know. It's a nice start up environment. The sales team is a very close knit environment and people are personable. I liked coming into work and seeing everyone. The place smells great, and the chocolate makes me happy. The location is really nice, I could easily bike to work. They are an eco conscious company and that is very nice. I like working for a company that cares about its impact on the earth. Overall the management is very supportive and friendly to their employees.

Cons

I understand that the pay is meager. Personally, I was an intern, so I did not receive anything that I could reasonably make a living off of. But I understand that the full time employees took home a small pay check, too. I do not think there were incredible or fabulous opportunities for upward advancement since it is such a small small company. I am not sure how they will fare this economic storm, so we will see. I would recommend waiting until after the recession ends to work there. I am not certain if they will last much longer.

Pros

semi flexible schedule- the management trys hard to make exemptions for people, esp if you have kids or family health concerns. also very few if any weekends. Easy to get too, street parking, - 15 min walk from bart or 3 min from muni lines, the parking is free but fills up throughout the day, its in the mission so don't leave things in car. FREE CHOCOLATE- all rejects are either re purpused into another product or offered to staff. YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THEIR SWEETS! Little experience needed,GREAT TRAINING.- I had the best kitchen training I ever received working here. If you want to try a machine or method management is very capable of giving you the training or setting you up with a connection to further your career. its a small crew but everyone pulls their weight and holds other accountable. and is a great kitchen to get your feet wet in because of the individual attention you can recive from kitchen staff. Management plays music and encourages conversations between employees. OUTSIDE LANDS- I have had the joy and pleasure working with CC for the last 7 outside lands and it is a GREAT time! its awesome to bond with the owner and management. you work two shifts and get a weekend wristband ( this was my favorite perk)!

Cons

smaller company- does not have as many benefits or thrills a larger corporation offers but makes up for it in opportunity and a very supportive management team. some seasons are slower then others- the team doesn't let this get them down there is always something for people to do, learn, or help with.
