Pros

You get to work with chocolate. You can earn more responsibilities and work your way up in the company. You get to make people happy by selling them chocolate. You get to work with food but not in a highly stressful or fast paced environment (excluding v-day).

Cons

The District Manager was horrible. They were closing our store and told us we'd get a nice bonus if we stayed on. A two digit number starting with a 1 isn't exactly what we were expecting. Last I heard though they fired the DM so hopefully things are looking up.

Pros

“One of the most rewarding parts of my role was building my team and continuing to learn. The plant employees consistently supported one another, which made the work meaningful.”

Cons

Corporate leadership made collaboration difficult. Criticism was frequent and often came from individuals without plant-level knowledge. I was told I was “wrong” while actively teaching and supporting them. Corporate leadership operated under different rules than the plants, including separate vacation plans and holidays. Equal treatment was never achieved, and the belittling behavior was unlike anything I had experienced in a professional environment. The culture reflected a clear “do as I say, not as I do” mentality. In my experience, Corporate HR lacked transparency and demonstrated questionable ethical practices. Accountability was inconsistent, which made it difficult to lead effectively and retain strong talent.
