Pros

Colleagues were the only reason I stayed for so long. You get 1 doughnut and drink per break!

Cons

The owner is not a nice person. Management are the most unempathetic, careless and detached people. Often short staffed and overworked. Doughnuts are thrown away (sometimes more than 100 perfectly fine doughnuts are thrown out if not sold) despite efforts to find ways to be less wasteful, all ideas have been shut down as the only thing the owner cares about is making money. This is not a small local eco-friendly company like they have claimed. Employees are undervalued, stressed out and overwhelmed. I have witnessed colleagues have panic attacks, meltdowns and often crying (including myself) due to the unnecessary amount of pressure management puts on us. Literally impossible to climb up the career ladder here.

Pros

Absolutely none stay well clear

Cons

Egotistical boss who think they are the best at everything and cannot take constructive criticism. Will make every effort to make the staff feel worthless when profits are down but take no responsibility for stupid ideas going wrong. Pushes the production of absolutely pointless cookies that nobody wants and has staff spending time making them when they need to be keeping up with the unrealistic production numbers when they need to be cleaning. Bakery is an absolute death trap, Dirty trays being slid along disgusting floors and unclean van floors being put directly on top of doughnuts with biscuits and toppings touching the bottom. Go through bakery staff and managers quicker than you can blink once they have seen through the lies. Save yourself the stress and stay away company will be bust in less than 6 months.
