Though the job was at times physically demanding, I felt supported by my management and it was easy to make a good relationship with coworkers due to the positive work environment and culture created by my boss. Baking was not my dream field to work in but at the time it was a great second choice, to be working in such a positive work environment. Would recommend anyone to work here.
Points positifs
Employer was generous with allowing staff to take product home, feed throughout the day. Positive work environment, easy to take pride in the quality of the product you produce
Points négatifs
Will usually have to work weekends, but they are accommodating with time off requests
Management doesn't know what they are doing, very passive in dealing with problems, troubled employees. The schedule was atrocious, many mistakes made in the schedule and some employees wouldn't receive it because the schedule was sent out by text. No training. just thrown in and expected to know what to do. Management couldn't delegate tasks. Disgruntled employees were just put up with, no disciplinary action taken. Also why were there even disgruntled employees? Very poor culture/atmosphere. Only good thing about the job was all the free bread. I was given attitude by a long standing employee and did not tolerate it and because i stood up for myself, i was alienated from conversation, receiving help on what to do. Worst employer I have ever had. Would not recommend.

Everything else about the job
Nice staff very nice owner Great location Very nice customers Good food Good operating time Good prices Yummy food Well kept stock Trains staff Safe rules
They expect you to multitask in many different areas but the management at my location was really good and they appreciated and showed their appreciation for the staff quite frequently.
No supervisor or management in store even on holidays. No scheduled breaks even when working 8+ hour shifts. The hours given depend on if they like you or your hours will be cut with no excuse. Most coworkers are nice but I have encountered about 1-2 unpleasant and rude coworkers that have been reported to management. Management never did anything about it. It needs a lot of organizing and structure.
Points positifs
10 dollars worth of product after every shift
Points négatifs
No breaks, no present supervisor

At first i thought the job was good and all but they expect you to know everything. I only work there one day a week and they want me to know everything. I was fired because they said i was too slow and i thought i was doing a pretty decent job. This was the first job that i was ever fired from so it makes me feel bad. Nothing like these has ever happened to me. The few people i worked with was nice. When i was fired they didn't give much noticed.

I worked here during the Christmas season and I'm thankful they didn't keep me on any longer than the seasonal position I applied for. They are not welcoming and make you feel like you can't do anything right. I knew I was a seasonal employee, but rather than telling me I was done, they just stopped giving me shifts. I would not recommend working here.
Working at Cob's Bread is the last choice of a person's career because it's over night, low pay, and you are treated like a machine instead of a person. It's really for young people who start out having no experience or education to work as a baker as the instruction is easy to follow. The employers seem stressed out because they also have to work over night. They care only about their production and sales, policy and campaign. They don't care if the employee gets sick or need a day off.
Points positifs
organized, easy to follow instructions, good products
Points négatifs
low pay, treated like a machine
I cried every night before work here. It was the most awful job I’ve ever had. The owner would ask me inappropriate questions and say mean or inappropriate things. He treated us all very poorly and I’d never go back no matter what.

Horrible work environment
Could be a great place, but presumably because of my disabilities, I was treated poorly. Regional manager treated me inappropriately and upper management crowded every action I took. Lots of micromanagement. I was told one thing and then another. It was very frustrating. Wish them the best, but I will never shop at a cobs again.

Micromanagement
-50 out of 10The manager bullies and yells at you IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS, he doesn't help up front when we need help. I have NEVER seen him wear a mask up front and he touches the bread with his bare hands.Constantly contradicts what he tells you one day.
It was as close as I will ever come to a dream job. The staff were exceptional people, the duties of the job were anything I could hope for in my position. It was the absolute best workplace I've seen in action first hand.

It was paradise.

This place is absolutely awful to work for. The new manager came in and made it a dreadful place to work. He’s rude and doesn’t do anything. He sits in the back all day and NEVER helps sales staff at the front. Completely useless. Has a sense of entitlement. Thinks he’s the most important person in the world. Can’t even walk to the front to grab a pen. Yells at sales staff to bring it to him as if he’s better then everyone. Bakers are never held accountable for their actions and allowed to walk all over management. Over heard the manager talking about staff members he didn’t like, and was always aggressive and never pleasant to be around. He doesn’t know how to probably bag buns, or ice scones but acts like he knows everything. Manager is overall just an awful person in my opinion. The manager is a power hungry bully, and staff was always walking on egg shells around him. Almost all the staff at tuxedo quit because he’s that rude and awful.

Bully as a manager
I was a baker at this location. The work is very strenuous. I found that my hands were in constant agony, even after acouple days of rest. Management does not allow you to fluctuate positions to give your hands/muscles a break. The shifts can be from 3am-12pm or 6am-2pm, they also do not fluctuate this. If you are on a 3am shift, you will be doing that for weeks at a time. This will cause you to be increasingly tired and work-life balance will be completely destroyed.
When I was first hired, I was given the option to either take a lunch or to leave 30mins early. At first I took a lunch, but learned fast that it was frowned upon by the other bakers so I would try to leave 30mins early. In some cases, leaving early was NOT possible. I believe that my performance would have benefitted hugely if there was no stigma around the lunch break (or as they called it, a "time out")
There is also a lot of favouritism happening at this location. Only certain employees are allowed to speak up and speak their minds while other employees get the grunt work and if they stood up for themselves and asked questions, they get fired. I was trained that certain positions do certain jobs, but as soon as I would change positions I would be forced to do things that other positions were responsible for. (eg. If there are 2 people processing, the ovens person gets help with doing pizzas. When I was on ovens, I would ask for help and that is when I would get told "that's YOUR job.") They think that telling you to hustle, is a form of training when really all it does is completely drain your motivation - plus...

Everything else? Toxic work environment
Early morning bakers usually starts at 2 or 3 am working almost every weekend, it’s the hard time to manage work and personal life, but the rest was the best place I worked, amazing co-workers and management.

Culture and management
Smaller staff team allows you to work closely with colleagues and franchisee. Opportunity for advancement within a supportive environment. Daily donation to charity and the end of the day supports the community as a whole.
Points positifs
Staff discounts, pay, flexibility
Points négatifs

The place is poorly managed you may feel bullied at times. Poor communication skills between the manager and employees. You Will get blamed for the manager mistakes, he will yell at you infront of customers, he will not do his actual job or help the sales staff, he abuses his power as a manager, and talk bad about you to other co-workers as well as his own boss. They will overwork you and they will not care about your health. Alot of empty promises from management, so don't rely on management to get things done, it all about the sales and money to them. Only good thing about the place is the co-workers

Management
Working at COBS in the Rio Can has taught me multitudes about baking and bread as well as working on a team. The owner, management, and team members are all appreciative of a job well done which is an excellent feeling. Competitive wages, take home bonus, benefits and the ability to advance through online courses (if you’re a baker) are some of the perks of working at this location. The team members are all excellent to work with as well. It’s a busy location and often very fast paced so time flies. I’ve become stronger and fitter from working there, even with all the delicious bread I consume, eliminating the need to try and fit a workout into my schedule. Overall one of the best places I’ve worked.
Points positifs
Take home bonus, competitive wages, active job
Points négatifs
Early shifts (if baking), physically demanding
the Staff are all friendly and helpful! Great atmosphere to work , and the snacks are definitely a plus!! .
