      Jewel-Osco reviews

      Pretty Strict for the Pay

      Overnight baker
      Former employee
      Niles, IL
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Weekly Pay Left alone at night, no one bothers you

      Cons

      Everything Else Good thing I did this as a supplementary job You're expected to make a count of 6-8 racks of baked goods with about 15 trays each, which comes out to 90 to 120 trays a night. They all have different instructions, You're expected to learn, cut, score, top, proof each specific tray, and memorize the time for each tray. Once you learn that, its to learn how to make donuts, all of which you guessed, have, specific instructions. From glazed to powered to sugared and frosted/ with sprinkles. In my case it was 16 trays each night, which was about 150 donuts a night. This was to be done under the time span less than a week, I have years of food service under my belt, and this was difficult for me. Then there was the fact things were *slighty* off, like the croissants were a touch hexadecimal code darker than usual, the breads were *slightly* over proofed, scores were cut to the right instead of the left, or the coffee cakes were bunched slightly shorter than last batch, And if you're sick? Oh well, prepare to have your ear wailed off because you dare take a sick day to recover for yourself. The managers exhibited a patronizing attitude. So, with all this said and done, whats the wage for this, Minimum wage. Work Holidays, No sick time. Berating managers at every single turn Its the reason factory work in preferable to this because of paid time off the only reason I lasted a year because of tution contract for school, which they didn't even sign even when HR gave the ok, jumping through hoops to get an official equifax document of sorts to show I've worked a certain amount of hours a week, they didn't sign because reasons "not feeling safe"
