Pros

Bakehouse schedule at least provides consistent shift time so you aren't pulling opening, mid, and closing shifts. The coworkers are also wonderful and supportive.

Cons

Cliquey management, favoritism in raise distribution and training opportunities. No PTO granted for the fall-winter quarter around the holidays due to grueling production schedule. No holiday pay. Frequently expected to work 20-90 minutes past shift end, then be sent home early later in the pay week to avoid overtime pay.
