management doesn't know how to take care of their employees. they will keep giving you more work. but they won't give you a pay increase or bonuses. I do not recommend working here.

Long term employee

Business Owner (Employé actuel) - Vancouver Island, BC - 29 juillet 2022

I have been with COBS Bread for 11 years. Always had great influences and options for advacements. It is very rewarding to walk into an empty bakery each morning and work with your team mates to produce amazing products throughout the morning for our customer base. I would recommend working for COBS Bread any day. If you have a good mindset for working hard, working as a team, and producing great looking product for your community this is the job for you. I worked for COBS Bread for 6 years before having the chance to purchase my own COBS Bread Bakery.

Points positifs

Great team members, $10 in freed product each shift, room for advacement if you take the iniative, rewarding

Points négatifs

Early hours can be challenging if you don't keep to your sleep schedule.

Great part time job

Sales Associate (Ancien employé) - North Vancouver, BC - 2 juillet 2022

Incredibly friendly staff and atmosphere. Management was very kind and understanding, and often listened to the needs of their employees. Salary is not the best but it is an entry job.

Fun and relaxed place to work for

Sales Associate (Ancien employé) - Sherwood Park, AB - 23 juin 2022

Once you finished all your tasks for the day all you have to worry about is to serve customers and pack the leftover products to be donated to the local food Bank.

Not the best place to work

Cashier (Ancien employé) - Nanaimo, BC - 21 juin 2022

This work place doesn’t comprise for your needs. If you ask for full time you will most likely not get it. You can ask for time off ahead of time and still get in trouble when the date comes up. Multiple people have been fired just for being in their probationary period when they are excellent workers. There is very little respect from management towards workers. Working there was amazing but it was difficult to look past the disrespect the workers got. No workers there are happy with there job. And there is nothing being done to fix this.

Not a good place to work

Sales Associate (Ancien employé) - Canada - 15 juin 2022

Head office does not ever communicate with anyone but the franchise owners. You get treated like garbage by customers it’s an exhausting job good for part time though

Poor Management

Baker (Ancien employé) - Calgary, AB - 13 juin 2022

A typical day of work for bakers would be getting into work at 2, 3, or 4 in the morning, working for 8 hours straight. And then also maybe working overtime. Breaks were 'encouraged' but if you sat down to rest or had to work overtime because you took a break, management would get upset with you. But when solutions to making it easier/better for bakers were brought up, nothing came from it. Or was told that 'it wouldn't work'. When mentioning how everyone is entitled to breaks and they can't be forced to do overtime as per labour laws, management implied that it doesn't apply to them.Multiple staff members requested raises or benefits because either a) they gained new responsibilities or b) became full-time. However, reminding management that you hadn't gotten a pay raise or benefits yet would be met with an irritated response of 'I'm working on it'. Yet weeks or months passed without anything happening. Attempting again would have them tell you that you're not patient enough.Multiple staff members also commented about how they were afraid of one of the managers. Personally was threatened to have hours cut, told to 'be happier' at work for my raise, and mocked when I got upset that the manager once again displayed double standards. When complaints were brought up about it. Everyone was told that 'maybe it was them' and not said manager.Health and safety issues weren't dealt with or ignored and when attempting to bring it up it was also met with 'I'm working on it' and maybe a temporary fix. Or told that it was 'too expensive' of a fix.

high turnover rate and alot of drama

Sales Person (Ancien employé) - Kingston, ON - 17 mai 2022

Working at cobs bread was surrounded by gossip and drama (including from the manager). There is a very high turnover rate for staff meaning the ones that were there were over worked. If you changed your availability or were unable to cover someones shift you were made out to be the bad guy. The company has good values but is run poorly.

Poor treatment of staff by management

Sales Associate (Ancien employé) - Kamloops, BC - 30 avril 2022

The owners and management of Cobs Bread under pay the staff, and there is always a huge turnover in employees. Favouritism was shown clearly. The work environment was stressful as there was often drama between the workers. Some of the customers were pretty hard to deal with.

Points positifs

Up to $10 free product on shift

Points négatifs

Not paid breaks, everything is overpriced, under paid, stressful environment

Overworked not appreciated for hard work

Baker (Ancien employé) - Georgetown, ON - 18 avril 2022

Started off as a great job was a new bakery coworkers were great we all got along had so much fun then it became awful long hours no breaks days off scattered sometimes you’d work 10 days without one, working 10-12 hour days when scheduled for only 8 also getting no break for those long hours if you left on time you would be spoken to about it Management is awful they don’t care about your personal well-being at all they work you until your physically drained, asking for certain days off forget about it holidays are never allowed to be booked off you’ll probably have to work a night shift or start at 3 am most holidays. The work load is way too much for the amount of staff you’ll be running back and fourth for hours with no stopping if your shift is over but product is low you’ll have to stay to make more there are no other bakers coming in and if you run out of product you will be spoken to about the numbers . you can’t make any plans after your shifts are supposed to be done you’ll rarely leave on time all I did was work and sleep never got to see friends or family. Even calling in sick is impossible you’ll be bombarded with calls and texts saying you must come in no one can cover especially in the covid 19 pandemic that was absolutely ridiculous everyone always came into work sick because we were afraid to call in, overall not a good place to work it could have potential and be fun and a great job but management definitely knows about the issues but chooses not to fix the problem let’s just say about 5 bakers quit the same month speaks for itself I think

Management here is subpar

Sales Associate/ Baker (Ancien employé) - Spruce Grove, AB - 7 avril 2022

After working at this location for 3 years and knowing all positions, I am confident that this place has terrible management. Don’t expect to be respected here. The job itself is awesome but the pay is no where near enough. Raises don’t happen.
